I need to get all the Payment info for each Employee

some thing like :

E1 0000007535 Open ABC 100.00

E1 0000007536 Closed XYZ 468.00

……

E2 0000007541 Open EEE 0.00
….

But the below code gives me only Dispositon,Type and AmountPaid I am not able to map it to each Employee.

;WITH XMLNAMESPACES (DEFAULT 'http://abc.com/rules') 
 select   Disposition,Type,AmountPaid from 
        EMPLOYEE
     OUTER APPLY
     (    
     SELECT 
     tbl.col.value('(@disposition)[1]','varchar(20)') AS Disposition, 
  tbl.col.value('(@type)[1]','varchar(20)') AS Type,
  tbl.col.value('(@amount_paid)[1]','varchar(20)') AS AmountPaid 

   FROM xmldocument.nodes('//Employee/Payment') AS tbl(col) 

 )Z  
WHERE xmlid = 500

Thanks

    I do not really understand how this xml relates to the xmldocument column in your EMPLOYEE table. Is the xml split between rows in employee or do one employee have more than one employee in the xml? Anyway, here is a way to query the XML you have provided. Perhaps you can use this and adapt it to your situation.

    declare @xmldocument xml = '
<Company xmlns="http://abc.com/rules">
    <Employee id="E1" number="0000007535">
        <Payment disposition="Open" type="ABC" amount_paid="100.00"/>
        <Payment disposition="Closed" type="XYZ" amount_paid="468.00"/>
        <Payment disposition="Open" type="AOD" amount_paid="156.00"/>
        <Payment disposition="Closed" type="ONB" amount_paid="2834.00"/>
    </Employee>
    <Employee id="E1" number="0000007536">
        <Payment disposition="Open" type="DFG" amount_paid="200.00"/>
        <Payment disposition="Closed" type="HFK" amount_paid="568.00"/>
    </Employee>
    <Employee id="E1" number="0000007537">
        <Payment disposition="Open" type="TTT" amount_paid="600.00"/>
        <Payment disposition="Closed" type="BBB" amount_paid="368.00"/>
    </Employee>
    <Employee id="E2" number="0000007541">
        <Payment disposition="Open" type="EEE" amount_paid="0.00"/>
        <Payment disposition="Closed" type="WWW" amount_paid="568.00"/>
        <Payment disposition="Closed" type="GHW" amount_paid="968.00"/>
    </Employee>
    <Employee id="E2" number="0000007542">
        <Payment disposition="Open" type="QQQ" amount_paid="140.00"/>
        <Payment disposition="Closed" type="CCC" amount_paid="68.00"/>
    </Employee>
    <Employee id="E3" number="0000007551">
        <Payment disposition="Open" type="AAA" amount_paid="300.00"/>
        <Payment disposition="Closed" type="TTT" amount_paid="668.00"/>
    </Employee>
</Company>'

;with xmlnamespaces(default 'http://abc.com/rules')
select 
  p.value('../@id', 'varchar(10)'),
  p.value('../@number', 'varchar(10)'),
  p.value('@disposition', 'varchar(10)'),
  p.value('@type', 'varchar(10)'),
  p.value('@amount_paid', 'varchar(10)')
from @xmldocument.nodes('Company/Employee/Payment') n(p)

    Result
