Hi all,
In my Sql Server 2005 database I have a column called OtherInformation which is an XML datatype. Within this column I have XML in the following format:
<Logs>
<Event Id="123">
<Information>Database crash</Information>
</Event>
</Logs>
The value of the Id attribute can change but I an trying to write a query that will retrieve the value of the Information element when the Id attribute of the Event element is 123. What I have so far is below but this returns the text regardless of what the attributes value is!
SELECT
LogId, OtherInformation.query('Logs/Event/Information/text()') As EventInformation
FROM
Logs
WHERE
OtherInformation.exist('Logs/Event[@.Id]') = '123'
Any help on this would be great. Thanks!
You need this query:
Code Snippet
SELECT LogId, OtherInformation.query('Logs/Event/Information/text()')
FROM Logs
WHERE OtherInformation.exist('Logs/Event[@.Id = "123"]') = 1;
|||Fantastic Martin. That works great!
