Question

I have a xml document as string. I need to insert the data into Master and Detail tables in SQL Server 2008.

I tried OpenXML and I want to use some other way in VB.net. I am using .net 3.5

<Orders>
    <Product>
      <productID>1</productID>
      <productName>Pens</productName>
      <ProductDetails>     
         <productID>1</productID>
         <cost>100</cost> 
      </ProductDetails>
     </Product>

     <Product>
      <productID>2</productID>
      <productName>Books</productName>
      <ProductDetails>     
         <productID>2</productID>
         <cost>1000</cost> 
      </ProductDetails>
     </Product>
</Orders>

See “Designing and Implementing Semistructured Storage“, and next time, start your search for basic SQL Server information at Books Online.
