OPENXML not returning data, no error message


I've never worked with XML before but have been tasked to import a document into a SQL Server table. As a test, I'm been using an example I found online and, for now, I'm only trying to retrieve a single column:

DECLARE @X XML

SELECT @X=MC2016
FROM OPENROWSET (BULK 'C:\TEMP\Detail_2016.xml', SINGLE_BLOB) AS MEDPOP_2016(MC2016)

DECLARE @hdoc int

EXEC SP_XML_PREPAREDOCUMENT @hdoc OUTPUT, @X

select * 
from openxml (@hdoc, '/Results/Record', 1)
with (
    MemberID varchar(10)
    )

EXEC SP_XML_REMOVEDOCUMENT @hdoc

When I execute this in SSMS, the query completes but I get zero rows of output even though I know that there are many thousands of records.

I'm running SQL Server 2016. The XML file is too large include here but here's the first record (deidentified):

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<Results xmlns="http://www.dxcg.com/Results.xsd">

</Record>

Ultimately, I want to load this entire record into a table but as of now, I can't even read a single column and I'm not getting any error messages to point me in a direction to look.

What am I missing here? Thanks.

Best regards, Corey


Solution

  • Starting from the code from the link provided in the comments you can use this code:

    DECLARE @X XML
    
    SELECT @X=MC2016
    FROM OPENROWSET (BULK 'c:\TEMP\Detail_2016.xml', SINGLE_BLOB) AS MEDPOP_2016(MC2016)
    
    DECLARE @hdoc int
    
    EXEC SP_XML_PREPAREDOCUMENT @hdoc OUTPUT, @X, '<myNs xmlns:ns1="http://www.dxcg.com/Results.xsd"/>'
    
    ;WITH XMLNAMESPACES ('http://www.dxcg.com/Results.xsd' as ns1) 
    select * 
    from openxml (@hdoc, '/ns1:Results/ns1:Record', 1)
    with (
        MemberID varchar(10)
        )
    

    Results:

    Note: the xml you posted is probably missing a the closing tag for root element </Results>
