I'm making a query that will delete all rows from table1 that has its column table1.id = table2.id
table1.id column is in nvarchar(max) with an xml format like this:
<customer><name>Paulo</name><gender>Male</gender><id>12345</id></customer>
EDIT: The id column is just a part of a huge XML so the ending tag may not match the starting tag.
I've tried using name.nodes but it only applies to xml columns and changing the column datatype is not a choice, So far this is the my code using PATINDEX
DELETE t1
FROM table1 t1
WHERE PATINDEX('%12345%',id) != 0
But what I need is to search for all values from table2.id which contains like this:
12345
67890
10000
20000
30000
Any approach would be nice like sp_executesql and/or while loop, or is there a better approach than using patindex? thanks!
Select *
--Delete A
From Table1 A
Join Table2 B on CharIndex('id>'+SomeField+'<',ID)>0
I don't know the name of the field in Table2. I am also assuming it is a varchar. If not, cast(SomeField as varchar(25))
EDIT - This is what I tested. It should work
Declare @Table1 table (id varchar(max))
Insert Into @Table1 values
('<customer><name>Paulo</name><gender>Male</gender><id>12345</id></customer>'),
('<customer><name>Jane</name><gender>Femail</gender><id>7895</id></customer>')
Declare @Table2 table (SomeField varchar(25))
Insert into @Table2 values
('12345'),
('67890'),
('10000'),
('20000'),
('30000')
Select *
--Delete A
From @Table1 A
Join @Table2 B on CharIndex('id>'+SomeField+'<',ID)>0
