I got stuck in SQL - can anyone please help?
I have a XML shown below; I want to read the XML tags and create a table in SQL Server.
I tried the query also shown below, but that did not fetch the data. The result set is empty. I have used cross apply and cast to xml.
Apparently I can write XPath queries to select tags into columns, which is what I want, except there is like 1000 possible tag names, and I don't want to write them all out (and possibly miss one) and hence i am looking for solution that we read xml tags and generate table with values and tags in SQL.
SELECT
t.ID,
T0.Color.value('local-name(.)', 'nvarchar(max)') AS TagName,
T0.Color.value('(@name)[1]','nvarchar(max)') AS EntityName,
T0.Color.value('text()[1]','nvarchar(max)') AS TagValue
FROM
ConfigurationDnaItem t
CROSS APPLY
(SELECT
CAST(t.Value AS XML)) AS A(AllNodes)
CROSS APPLY
A.AllNodes.nodes('/hierarchy/nodes/list-entity') AS T0(Color)
WHERE
id = '1D09BFCB-AE0A-4346-835D-4BBCF2BBB503'
Please see the above table structure I am looking for remove from selection N/A the last row that would be much better.
Thanks for help.

It's rather unclear what your expected output is, but it looks like you want something like this
WITH XMLNAMESPACES(DEFAULT 'urn:guru.cincom.com-Hierarchy')
SELECT t.ID
,T0.Color.value('(extended-properties/extended-property[@name = "ALTNAME"]/text())[1]', 'nvarchar(max)') AS TagName
,T0.Color.value('@name','nvarchar(max)') AS EntityName
,T0.Color.value('(values/value/key-value/text())[1]','nvarchar(max)') AS TagValue
FROM ConfigurationDnaItem t
CROSS APPLY (SELECT CAST(t.Value AS XML)) As A(AllNodes)
CROSS APPLY A.AllNodes.nodes('/hierarchy/nodes/list-entity[not(values/value/key-value/text() = "N/A")]') AS T0(Color)
where t.id = '1D09BFCB-AE0A-4346-835D-4BBCF2BBB503';
There were a number of issues with your existing query:
local-name(.)
would get you the node name list-entity
, it's unclear why you would have wanted that.extended-properties/extended-property
which you need to filter by attribute name
, then pull out the inner text.@name
gets you the name
attribute, which is not present in your image. I have left it in however. It does not require [1]
.text()[1]
would not get you anything, as the context node does not have any direct inner text nodes. Instead, it seems you wanted to descend to values/value/key-value/text()
.N/A
value, you need the following predicate [not(values/value/key-value/text() = "N/A")]
