SQL Server 2005 For XML Explicit - Need help formatting
try
SELECT 1 AS Tag, 0 AS Parent, AccountNumber AS [Root!1!AccountNumber!element]FROM Location.LocationMDAccountWHERE LocationID = 'long-guid-here'FOR XML EXPLICIT
Try this, Chris:
SELECT AccountNumber as [clientId]FROM Location.Location rootWHERE LocationId = 'long-guid-here'FOR XML AUTO, ELEMENTSTERRIBLY SORRY! I mixed up what you were asking for. I prefer the XML AUTO just for ease of maintainance, but I believe either one is effective. My apologies for the oversight ;-)
Using SQL Server 2005 (or presumably 2008) I find for XML PATH to allow for much easier to maintain SQL than for XML Explicit (particularly once the SQL is longer).
In this case:
SELECT AccountNumber as "clientID"FROM Location.LocationMDAccountWHERE locationid = 'long-guid-here'FOR XML PATH (''), Root ('root');
