Question

This is the structure of my table

CREATE TABLE [dbo].[TableA]
(
    [ObjectID] [int] IDENTITY(1,1) NOT NULL,
    [CGPracticeCode] [varchar](5) NULL,
    [TotalAmt] [decimal](11, 2) NULL,
    [SplitAmt] [xml] NULL,
)

The value in the SplitAmt Column are in the below format, no of rows may vary

'<Values>
  <Row>
    <PracticeCode>BE9</PracticeCode>
    <Value>20</Value>
  </Row>
  <Row>
    <PracticeCode>BEA</PracticeCode>
    <Value>3</Value>
  </Row>
</Values>'

Now How do I get values like this… (No problem in repeating 1st 3 columns)

ObjectID, CGPracticeCode, TotalAmt, PracticeCode, [Value]

Have a look at this article by Alex Homer

To return the first Row elements you can use:

select a.ObjectId, 
       a.CGPracticeCode, 
       a.TotalAmt, 
       a.SplitAmt.value('(/Values/Row/PracticeCode)[1]', 'nvarchar(50)') as PracticeCode, 
       a.SplitAmt.value('(/Values/Row/Value)[1]', 'int') as [Value]
from [dbo].[TableA] a
