Importing Multiple XML Field values

Hi,
Does anyone know how to make SQLXMLBulkLoad accept a SQL file if it has a
field repeated with more than 1 value. For example
<ROOT>
<Cust>
<details>
<Val1>23</Val1>
<Val2>44</Val2>
<Val3>16</Val3>
<Val3>77</Val3>
<Val4>47</Val4>
</details>
</Cust>
</ROOT>
As Val3 appears twice in the file, SQLXMLBulkLoad fails because it already
has a mapping for this field. Is there a way to modify the schema definition
to allow for this?
I don't actually care which of the values for Val3 the import process saves,
although I would like one or the other.
The schema currently looks something like:
<schema xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema"
xmlns:sql="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:mapping-schema">
<element name="Cust" sql:relation="CustTable" >
<complexType>
<sequence>
<element name="Val1" sql:field="CusVal1" type="integer" />
<element name="Val2" sql:field="CusVal2" type="integer" />
<element name="Val3" sql:field="CusVal3" type="integer" />
<element name="Val4" sql:field="CusVal4" type="integer" />
<sequence>
<complexType>
<element>
<schema>
Thanks
Bod
There is no way to get bulkload to work this way.
Your options would be to:
1. clean the data ahead of time using XSLT, or
2. do the inserts using the Server's nodes() method
This article has examples of using nodes()

it saves me wasting hours of trying...

Can you post your final schema file that you are using for this bulk
load?
Thanks
