Question

I have the following table structure

ZoneID int
ZoneName varchar(50)

I need to get this into an XML structure as follows to import into another system

    <Batch>
        <Record>
            <Insert>
                <Field>
                    <FieldName>ZoneID</FieldName>
                    <FieldValue>1</FieldValue>
                </Field>
                <Field>
                    <FieldName>ZoneName</FieldName>
                    <FieldValue>Interior</FieldValue>
                </Field>
            </Insert>
        </Record>
        <Record>
            <Insert>
                <Field>
                    <FieldName>ZoneID</FieldName>
                    <FieldValue>2</FieldValue>
                </Field>
                <Field>
                    <FieldName>ZoneName</FieldName>
                    <FieldValue>Exterior</FieldValue>
                </Field>
            </Insert>
        </Record>           
    </Batch>

So far I have this:

SELECT 
(            
    (SELECT     
    'ZoneID' as 'FieldName',
    [ZoneID] as 'FieldValue'
    FROM [dbo].[Condition_t_Zones]
    WHERE ZoneID = [Condition_t_Zones].ZoneID
    FOR XML PATH('field'), TYPE)

) as 'Insert'

FROM [Condition_t_Zones]

FOR XML PATH('record'), ROOT('batch')

But am unable to work out how to select the other field ‘ZoneName’ using another subquery.

Any help greatly appreciated.

Answer 1

Managed to get it working, think from my previous tests I had commas and Parentheses in the wrong places.

Solution I arrived at as follows:

SELECT 
(
    (SELECT     
    'ZoneID' as 'FieldName',
    ZoneID as 'FieldValue'
    FROM [dbo].[Condition_t_Zones]
    WHERE ZoneID = [Condition_t_Zones].ZoneID
    FOR XML PATH('field'), TYPE) 
) as 'insert',
(            
    (SELECT     
    'ZoneName' as 'FieldName',
    ZoneName as 'FieldValue'
    FROM [dbo].[Condition_t_Zones]
    WHERE ZoneID = [Condition_t_Zones].ZoneID
    FOR XML PATH('field'), TYPE)        
) 
as 'insert'     
FROM [Condition_t_Zones]

FOR XML PATH('record'), ROOT('batch')
