使用 T-SQL 查询 XML 字段

问题描述

如何使用 T-SQL 查询 XML 数据中的多个节点并将结果输出为单个逗号分隔的字符串?

How can I query multiple nodes in XML data with T-SQL and have the result output to a single comma separated string?

例如，我想获取以下 XML 中所有目的地名称的列表，使其看起来像德国、法国、英国、意大利、西班牙、葡萄牙"

For example, I'd like to get a list of all the destination names in the following XML to look like "Germany, France, UK, Italy, Spain, Portugal"

    <Holidays>
      <Summer>
        <Regions>
        <Destinations>
          <Destination Name="Germany"  />
          <Destination Name="France"  />
          <Destination Name="UK"  />
          <Destination Name="Italy"  />
          <Destination Name="Spain"  />
          <Destination Name="Portugal"  />
        </Destinations>
        <Regions>
      </Summer>
    </Holidays>

我正在尝试类似的东西:

I was trying something like:

Countries = [xmlstring].value('/Holidays/Summer/Regions/Destinations/@Name', 'varchar')   

推荐答案

首先，要从源 XML 表中获取记录列表，需要使用 .nodes 函数(演示):

First, to get a list of records from a source XML table, you need to use the .nodes function (DEMO):

select Destination.value('data(@Name)', 'varchar(50)') as name
from [xmlstring].nodes('/Holidays/Summer/Regions/Destinations/Destination')
    D(Destination)

示例输出:

|      NAME |
-------------
|   Germany |
|    France |
|        UK |
|     Italy |
|     Spain |
|  Portugal |

从这里开始，您希望将目标值连接到一个逗号分隔的列表中.不幸的是，这不是 T-SQL 直接支持的，因此您必须使用某种解决方法.如果您正在使用多行的源表，最简单的方法是 FOR XML PATH('') 技巧.在这个查询中，我使用一个名为 Data 的源表，并将 XML 拆分为单独的记录，然后我使用 FOR XML PATH('') CROSS APPLY 生成逗号分隔的行.最后，从结果中去除最后的 , 以创建列表 (演示):

;with Destinations as (
    select id, name
    from Data
    cross apply (
        select Destination.value('data(@Name)', 'varchar(50)') as name
        from [xmlstring].nodes('/Holidays/Summer/Regions/Destinations/Destination') D(Destination)
    ) Destinations(Name)
)
select id, substring(NameList, 1, len(namelist) - 1)
from Destinations as parent
cross apply (
    select name + ','
    from Destinations as child
    where parent.id = child.id
    for xml path ('')
) DestList(NameList)
group by id, NameList

| ID |                               COLUMN_1 |
-----------------------------------------------
|  1 | Germany,France,UK,Italy,Spain,Portugal |
|  2 |                   USA,Australia,Brazil |
