OPENXML won't return rows

I am trying to insert a row from an XML document into a table. Here is
the table structure:
CREATE TABLE dbo.Customer(
CustomerGUID uniqueidentifier NOT NULL,
CustomerName varchar(25) COLLATE SQL_Latin1_General_CP1_CI_AS NULL,
Version int NULL,
ActivatedDate smalldatetime NULL,
ActivatedByWS uniqueidentifier NULL,
DeactivatedDate smalldatetime NULL,
DeactivatedByWS varchar(10) COLLATE SQL_Latin1_General_CP1_CI_AS NULL,
UpdatedByWS uniqueidentifier NULL,
CustomerType char(2) COLLATE SQL_Latin1_General_CP1_CI_AS NOT NULL,
SalesOfficeName varchar(25) COLLATE SQL_Latin1_General_CP1_CI_AS NOT
NULL,
PRIMARY KEY CLUSTERED
(
CustomerGUID ASC
)WITH (IGNORE_DUP_KEY = OFF) ON PRIMARY,
UNIQUE NONCLUSTERED
(
CustomerName ASC
)WITH (IGNORE_DUP_KEY = OFF) ON PRIMARY
) ON PRIMARY
GO
Here is the code to get the data from the document and insert it:
DECLARE @.docHandle int
declare @.xmlDocument xml
set @.xmlDocument = N'<ROOT>
<Customer>
<CustomerGUID>05062E6D-453B-4CAE-9EA4-BAF7D00E4235</CustomerGUID>
<CustomerType>CU</CustomerType>
<SalesOfficeName>Roadway Main</SalesOfficeName>
<UpdatedByWS>D7DA4883-656D-4923-9C5C-FD83EBE6F1BE</UpdatedByWS>
<ActivatedDate>2005-11-20T00:00:00</ActivatedDate>
</Customer>
</ROOT>'
EXEC sp_xml_preparedocument @.docHandle OUTPUT, @.xmlDocument
-- comment out the actual INSERT
--INSERT INTO Customer (CustomerGUID, CustomerType, SalesOfficeName,
UpdatedByWS, ActivatedDate)
SELECT CustomerGUID, CustomerType, SalesOfficeName, UpdatedByWS,
ActivatedDate
FROM OPENXML(@.docHandle, N'/ROOT/Customer')
WITH Customer
EXEC sp_xml_removedocument @.docHandle
GO
I get this result:
CustomerGUID CustomerType SalesOfficeName UpdatedByWS ActivatedDate
-- -- -- -- --
NULL NULL NULL NULL NULL
I think that I am not describing the XML correctly to the XML variable,
but I don't know what to do next. Any ideas? Thanks.
You need to specify the flags parameter to tell OPENXML to look for elements
instead of attributes. The default Flags value is 1, which is attributes -
use 2 for elements, or 3 for both (or better yet use colpatterns in a table
def in the WITH clause).
DECLARE @.docHandle int
declare @.xmlDocument xml
set @.xmlDocument = N'<ROOT>
<Customer>
<CustomerGUID>05062E6D-453B-4CAE-9EA4-BAF7D00E4235</CustomerGUID>
<CustomerType>CU</CustomerType>
<SalesOfficeName>Roadway Main</SalesOfficeName>
<UpdatedByWS>D7DA4883-656D-4923-9C5C-FD83EBE6F1BE</UpdatedByWS>
<ActivatedDate>2005-11-20T00:00:00</ActivatedDate>
</Customer>
</ROOT>'
EXEC sp_xml_preparedocument @.docHandle OUTPUT, @.xmlDocument
-- comment out the actual INSERT
--INSERT INTO Customer (CustomerGUID, CustomerType, SalesOfficeName,
UpdatedByWS, ActivatedDate)
SELECT CustomerGUID, CustomerType, SalesOfficeName,
UpdatedByWS,ActivatedDate
FROM OPENXML(@.docHandle, N'/ROOT/Customer', 2)
WITH Customer
Cheers,
Graeme
