SQL

DECLARE @GroupXML  AS XML
 
SET @GroupXML=
'<GroupA>
<ParantNode Id="001">
   <ChildNode Name ="AA01"> </ChildNode>
   <ChildNode Name ="AA02"> </ChildNode>
</ParantNode>
<ParantNode Id="002">
   <ChildNode Name ="BB"> </ChildNode>
</ParantNode>
</GroupA>'
 
INSERT INTO @GroupTable (ParentIndex,ChildeName)
SELECT       
 NodeIndex,--Id of ParantNode of GroupA   
 GroupXML.GX.value('@Name', 'NVARCHAR(50)') ChildName          
FROM       
  @GroupXML.nodes('/GroupA/ParantNode/ChildNode') AS GroupXML(GX)  (ParentIndex,ChildeName)


SELECT * FROM @GroupTable

Is it possible to retrieve index of node ? Please let me know how we can write proper query in " NodeIndex,--Id of ParantNode of GroupA"
So that it will give below result ?

ParentIndex	ChildeName
1	AA01
1	AA02
2	BB

-----------------------
ParentIndex | ChildeName
------------------------
     1      |    AA01   
     1      |    AA02  
     2      |    BB

Edit DMA: Table markup using html, and original switched to pre block to demonstrate to OP ways of displaying a table neatly and aligned.

Don't post the same question twice - It is early in teh morning in teh Western world, and most people are just starting to arive for work.
Give it a little time for people to answer!
And then, use the "Improve question" widget to edit your question and provide better information rather than posting a new question.
I have deleted the older one and this one has fewer spelling mistakes!

Here it is :

SQL

DECLARE @GroupXML  AS XML
 
SET @GroupXML=
'<GroupA>
<ParantNode Id="001">
   <ChildNode Name ="AA01"> </ChildNode>
   <ChildNode Name ="AA02"> </ChildNode>
</ParantNode>
<ParantNode Id="002">
   <ChildNode Name ="BB"> </ChildNode>
</ParantNode>
</GroupA>'

SELECT cast( GroupXML.GX.value('../@Id', 'NVARCHAR(50)') as int) ParentIndex, GroupXML.GX.value('@Name', 'NVARCHAR(50)') ChildName
	FROM  @GroupXML.nodes('/GroupA/ParantNode/ChildNode') AS GroupXML(GX)
