OPENXML with a namespace

Sorry, I've tried to search to find my answer, but I just can't quite figure
it out... I'm new to querying XML in a stored proc...
I have an XML file that looks like:
<Members xmlns="http://tempuri.org/template.xsd">
<Member>
<OperationType>Insert</OperationType>
</Member>
<Member>
<OperationType>Update</OperationType>
</Member>
</Members>
there's more to it, but I've simplified it down.
and in my stored proc, I'm trying this: (assume that @.idoc is already
declared and @.FileContents contains the contents of the xml file I'm
reading)
EXEC sp_xml_preparedocument @.idoc OUTPUT, @.FileContents, '<Members
xmlns="http://tempuri.org/template.xsd"/>'
SELECT *
FROM OPENXML(@.idoc, '/Members/Member',2)
WITH (OperationType varchar(30))
EXEC sp_xml_removedocument @.idoc
I get no results...
If I take the xmlns declaration out of the <Members> element in the source
file, it works fine and I get a list of the OperationType elements.
What am I missing?
Thanks much,
SherylHi SL,
Welcome to the MSDN newsgroup.
Regarding on the OPENXML with namespace problem, based on my research, we
can use the third parameter of the sp_xml_prparedocument procedure to
specify namespace info. Also, in our sequental xpath, we need to explicitly
identify namespace through a namespace prefix. For detailed info, you can
refer to the following MSDN document and web article:
#How To: Use OpenXML on an Xml document with a default namespace
http://www.sqlxml.org/faqs.aspx?faq=101
#sp_xml_preparedocument

Hope this helps.
