Look at the FOR EXPLICITY clause in books online and you may be able to do
what you require.

column in QA.

If you still have problems cutting the tags then put in dummy data values
that contain a carriage return. See http://tinyurl.com/e4rla

Retrieving XML Data using FOR XML AUTO into sql variable

hello guru's

I am using SQL server 2000, Version 8.0(SP4)
I need to put XML string returned from SELECT FOR XML AUTO query to a variable, But i can not able to do it in Transact SQL . can you please help me out ?

Declare @.Message varchar(200)

SELECT col1,col2 from table1 FOR XML AUTO

I need to put result of above query to @.Message variable.

I have tried with following but failed ......

SET @.Message = SELECT col1,col2 from table1 FOR XML AUTO

SET @.Message = sp_executesql N'SELECT col1,col2 from table1 FOR XML AUTO'

can anyone suggest me the solution to this .....

Thanks

Which version of SQL Server are you using -- 2000 or 2005?

|||

Parentheses should help e.g.

Code Snippet

SET @.Message = (SELECT col1, col2 FROM table1 FOR XML AUTO);

|||Thanks Kent for pointing me out,

I am using SQL server 2000 Version 8.0(SP4)

I have updated the post.

Thanks

|||Hello Martin,

Parenthesis does not helped ...It is giving syntax error.

Thanks for reply
|||

Sorry, works with SQL Server 2005 I tested with but then obviously not with SQL Server 2000 which you are using.

Hi,

The code you are trying to execute will not work as FOR XML is not supported to work with assignment in SQL Server 2000. This works only with 2005

Retrieve Guid after inserting recrod with NEWID()

Hi There,

I'm having a problem retreiving the auto generated Guid after inserting anew record with NEWID(), my stored proc is as follows:

SET @.uiTransactionID = NEWID()INSERT INTO Transactions (uiTransactionID) VALUES (@.uiTransactionID)IF @.@.ERROR = 0 AND @.@.ROWCOUNT = 1BEGIN SELECT @.uiTransactionID AS'@.@.GUID' RETURN 0END

And the return on my insert statement is:

command.ExecuteNonQuery();
m_uiTransactionID = (Guid

)command.Parameters["RETURN_VALUE"].Value;

I can never retreive the newly generated Guid, can onyone spot where i'm going wrong?

Many thanks

Ben

Hi,

i have tested your stored procedure and i think the stored procedure is correct. Please check your calling code for the stored procedure:

protected void CallStoredProcedure(){ Guid m_uiTransactionID; SqlCommand cmd =new SqlCommand("Test",new SqlConnection(ConfigurationManager.ConnectionStrings["DataBase"].ToString()));cmd.CommandType = CommandType.StoredProcedure;cmd.Parameters.Add("@.uiTransactionID", SqlDbType.UniqueIdentifier);cmd.Parameters["@.uiTransactionID"].Direction = ParameterDirection.Output;try { cmd.Connection.Open(); cmd.ExecuteNonQuery();m_uiTransactionID = (Guid)cmd.Parameters["@.uiTransactionID"].Value; }catch (Exception exc) { }finally { cmd.Connection.Close(); }}

And you can also check the stored procedure execute permissons.

Hope this can help you.

Regards
Marc André
