Question

I am trying to figure out how I can insert a new line between fields in SQL Server 2008.

Current XML:

<products>
  <product>
    <ProductID>1</ProductID>
    <ProductName>A.1</ProductName>
  </product>
  <product>
    <ProductID>2</ProductID>
    <ProductName>B.1</ProductName>
  </product>
</products>

Desired XML:

<products>
  <product>

    <ProductID>1</ProductID>

    <ProductName>A.1</ProductName>

  </product>
  <product>

    <ProductID>2</ProductID>

    <ProductName>B.1</ProductName>

  </product>
</products>

Any ideas how I can inject Newline/carriage return in the XML output?

Any thoughts would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,

S

Simple. Take the output, insert the lines. That is AFTER sql server.
