Shredding XML in SQL Server 2017

Question

Given the following SQL:

drop table if exists #testXML

create table #testXML (InputXML xml)

insert into #testXML
values ('<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" standalone="yes" ?>
<document>
<table name="tableName1">
<column name="ID">000010313500011171011710001 </column>
<column name="StartDate">10/27/2019</column>
<column name="EndDate">11/02/2019</column>
</table>
</document>')

I'm trying to get output like this:

ID                                 StartDate     EndDate
000010313500011171011710001        10/27/2019    11/02/2019

Here's my start, but I'm just flailing at this point.

SELECT  
       px1.tbl.value('@name','nvarchar(50)') as TableName
      ,px2.col.value('@name','nvarchar(50)') as ColName
from #testXML px
cross apply   inputxml.nodes ('/document/table') as px1(tbl)
cross apply   inputxml.nodes ('/document/table/column') as px2(col)

This is on SQL Server 2017.

Your SQL needs to be adjusted as follows, by leveraging the @name attribute value.

SQL

-- DDL and sample data population, start
DECLARE @tbl TABLE (InputXML xml)

INSERT INTO @tbl (InputXML)
VALUES ('<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" standalone="yes"?>
<document>
    <table name="tableName1">
        <column name="ID">000010313500011171011710001</column>
        <column name="StartDate">10/27/2019</column>
        <column name="EndDate">11/02/2019</column>
    </table>
</document>');
-- DDL and sample data population, end

SELECT col.value('(column[@name="ID"]/text())[1]','nvarchar(50)') as ID
    , col.value('(column[@name="StartDate"]/text())[1]','DATE') as StartDate
    , col.value('(column[@name="EndDate"]/text())[1]','DATE') as EndDate
FROM @tbl tbl
    CROSS APPLY tbl.InputXML.nodes('/document/table') AS tab(col);

Output

+-----------------------------+------------+------------+
|             ID              | StartDate  |  EndDate   |
+-----------------------------+------------+------------+
| 000010313500011171011710001 | 2019-10-27 | 2019-11-02 |
+-----------------------------+------------+------------+
