Importing xml through tsql

Hey
I'm relatively new to xml.
I want to upload xml data with sql's openxml. I can do it with "normal" xml
but my files look a bit different and I can't find help on it.
My file looks like this:
<myfile>
<table1>
<col1>Value1</col1>
<col2>Value2</col2>
<col3>Value3</col3>
<col4>Value4</col4>
</table1>
<table2>
<col1>Value1</col1>
<col2>Value2</col2>
<col3>Value3</col3>
<col4>Value4</col4>
</table2>
</myfile>
Hope this makes sense.
Thanks for the help.
Assuming you want the data in two different tables, you could write:
declare @.h int
exec sp_xml_preparedocument @.h output, N'<myfile>
<table1>
<col1>Value1</col1>
<col2>Value2</col2>
<col3>Value3</col3>
<col4>Value4</col4>
</table1>
<table2>
<col1>Value1</col1>
<col2>Value2</col2>
<col3>Value3</col3>
<col4>Value4</col4>
</table2>
</myfile>'
--insert into table1
select * from OpenXML(@.h, '/myfile/table1',2)
with (col1 nvarchar(20),col2 nvarchar(20),col3 nvarchar(20),col4
nvarchar(20))
--insert into table2
select * from OpenXML(@.h, '/myfile/table2',2)
with (col1 nvarchar(20),col2 nvarchar(20),col3 nvarchar(20),col4
nvarchar(20))
exec sp_xml_removedocument @.h

Importing XML data into a SQL Server database

Hello,
I am having a bit of a problem, and maybe someone out there can
help. The Schema file (test_schema.xml) is:
<?xml version="1.0" ?>
<xs:schema attributeFormDefault="unqualified"
elementFormDefault="qualified"
xmlns:xs="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema"
xmlns:sql="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:mapping-schema">
<xs:element name="Root">
<xs:complexType>
<xs:sequence>
<xs:element name="Truserv" sql:mapped="false">
<xs:complexType>
<xs:sequence>
<xs:element name="Item" sql:relation="Test_Table">
<xs:complexType>
<xs:attribute name="item_nbr" type="xs:unsignedInt"
use="required" sql:field="Test_Col1" />
</xs:complexType>
</xs:element>
</xs:sequence>
</xs:complexType>
</xs:element>
</xs:sequence>
</xs:complexType>
</xs:element>
</xs:schema>
The XML file is:
<ROOT>
<TRU_SERV>
<Items test_attribute1="This is a test" />
</TRU_SERV>
</ROOT>
and my vb script code is:
Set objBL = CreateObject("SQLXMLBulkLoad.SQLXMLBulkLoad.3.0")
objBL.ConnectionString = "provider=SQLOLEDB.1;data
source=aaa;database=xxx;uid=yyy;pwd=zzz"
objBL.ErrorLogFile = "error.log"
objBL.Execute "test_schema.xml", "test_xml.xml"
Set objBL = Nothing
When I run the vb code, the code will execute, but it will not insert
the data into the database. It just runs and from my end, seems to do
nothing. It does connect to the database, since I am not getting any
errors. If anyone out there has any ideas, please let me know.

In the XML file one of the tags is called <TRU_SERV>
where as in the schema it is called <xs:element name="Truserv" sql:mapped="false"> These names must match exactly for this to work.
|||also you have the same problem with "item" and "items"

Importing Relational Xml

Hi
"Normal" xml, I can import a file, I'm no guru but I can get it working.
Relational files seems to be a bit of a tough cookie for me. I read some
articles but I would like to stay as SQL as possible(most articles use 3rd
party apps). I was wondering if anyone can help me out either with the
know-how of how to upload these files , a link or a yes or no if SQL can
perform this task.
I don't mind using SQL webservices etc. Just no third party tools.
Help will really be appreciated.
ThanksCheck out SQLXML
<http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/d...
ch_SQLXML.asp>.
This includes an XML bulk load utility that can map XML into your relational
database schema.
Hope this helps.
