hi Aathi,
thank u, but i need to pass the xml local path in the Query, then the data in the xml will inserted into the table.

SELECT @xmlData = BulkColumn
FROM OPENROWSET
(BULK 'D:\Process.xml',SINGLE_CLOB ) as a

SELECT UserID = a.value('(USERID/text())[1]','VARCHAR(100)'),
Machine_Name = a.value('(MAchineName/text())[1]','VARCHAR(100)'),
CurrentDate = a.value('(CurrentDate/text())[1]','VARCHAR(100)'),
DocumentTitle = a.value('(DocumentTitle/text())[1]','VARCHAR(100)')
from @xmlData.nodes('/Processes/Process') x(a)

Hello brajunaresh,

You can try this...

SQL

declare @xmldata as xml

set @xmldata= (SELECT CONVERT(XML, BulkColumn) AS BulkColumn
FROM OPENROWSET(BULK 'D:\a.xml', SINGLE_BLOB)as X)

or

select @xmldata = CONVERT(XML, BulkColumn) FROM OPENROWSET(BULK 'D:\a.xml', SINGLE_BLOB)as X

happy coding :)
