Hi Team,

How to read XML node using SQL?

I have below XML -

XML

"<sales>
  <sale>
	<name>Joy G</name>
	<details>TYOP 1,KODF 1243</details>
  </sale>
</sales> "

and I need the text between node "details" in return from SQL query
Output would be - TYOP 1,KODF 1243

Any idea what the query would be

Thanks
RD Burmon

What I have tried:

SELECT @List= n.c.value('DETAILS[1]','varchar(max)')
FROM @Batches t
Cross Apply RawXml.nodes('/') n(c)

This should do it:

SELECT n.xmlData.value('(sales/sale/details)[1]','varchar(max)') 
 FROM xmlTable 
 Cross Apply xmlData.nodes('/') n(xmlData)

and with your table/field names:

SELECT n.RawXml.value('(sales/sale/details)[1]','varchar(max)') 
 FROM Batches
 Cross Apply RawXml.nodes('/') n(RawXml)
