sql server - Project relational data to XML column - is it possible? -
i have 2 tables of following structure:
people id | lastname | firstname | other columns...
the second table has xml column:
id | myxmlcol | other columns...
myxmlcol
stores following xml:
<mydata> <block> <person id="1" /> ...other nodes </block> ...other blocks </mydata>
the id attribute points id column of people table.
what need, query myxmlcol
, returns:
<mydata> <block> <person id="1" lastname="jones" firstname="bob" /> ...other nodes </block> ...other blocks </mydata>
is possible make such projection? i'm using sql server 2012.
if there can 1 element "person" in single element "block", should suit:
update t set myxmlcol.modify(' insert ( attribute lastname {sql:column("p.lastname")}, attribute firstname {sql:column("p.firstname")} ) (/mydata/block/person)[1]') @table2 t inner join @people p on t.myxmlcol.value('(/mydata/block/person/@id)[1]', 'int') = p.id
