here is one example how to use OPENXML function

Bulk Insertion of Data Using C# DataTable and SQL server OpenXML function

---

Make use of function : OPENXML (Transact-SQL) which is avialble in sql server allows you to insert data in server….

also read : Use OPENXML to insert values from a string of XML

Example :

--Use OPENXML to pull records from an XML string and insert them into a database

DECLARE @idoc int
DECLARE @doc varchar (1000)

--XML document

SET @doc ='
<ROOT>
    <Employee>
        <FirstName>Tom</FirstName>
        <LastName>Jones</LastName>
    </Employee>
    <Employee>
        <FirstName>Gus</FirstName>
        <LastName>Johnson</LastName>
    </Employee>
</ROOT>'

--Create an internal representation of the XML document
--the idoc variable is set as the document handler, so we can refer to it later

EXEC sp_xml_preparedocument @idoc OUTPUT, @doc

-- Use the OPENXML rowset provider with an Insert
-- @idoc lets us know which internal representation of an xml doc to use
-- '/ROOT/Employee' shows us which node in the xml tree to work on
-- the 2 denotes we want to use elemenet centric mapping for the values, as oppsed to attributes or a combination of both
-- in the 'With' we specify how the output rowset will look

INSERT INTO Employees (FirstName, LastName)
SELECT *
FROM OPENXML (@idoc, '/ROOT/Employee',2) 
WITH (FirstName varchar(10),
LastName varchar(20)
)

-- Clear the XML document from memory

EXEC sp_xml_removedocument @idoc
