CREATE TABLE customers( name VARCHAR(20) NOT NULL PRIMARY KEY, description XML)

向XML類型的列中插入數據基有三種辦法:

1.直接使用字符串,示例如下：

INSERT INTO customers (feedName, feedXML) VALUES (‘Ramon Liu’, ‘<description>rich customer</description>’)

2.使用FOR XML，示例如下：

GO--declare xml type variableDECLARE @xmlDoc XMLSET @xmlDoc = ( SELECT Name, SalesYTD FROM Sales.SalesTerritory FOR XML AUTO, ROOT ('territories'), ELEMENTS )INSERT INTO customers (name, description) VALUES ('Stanley', @xmlDoc)

3.使用OPENROWSET從文件中加載,示例如下:

GOINSERT INTO customers (name, description)SELECT 'Justin', xmlData FROM ( SELECT * FROM OPENROWSET (BULK 'd:desc.xml', SINGLE_NCLOB) AS xmlData ) AS feed (xmlData)GOSELECT * FROM customers
