<catalog>

</catalog>'
1. xml.exist
select @XMLVar.exist('/catalog/book')-----返回1
select @XMLVar.exist('/catalog/book/@category')-----返回1
select @XMLVar.exist('/catalog/book1')-----返回0
set @XMLVar = null
select @XMLVar.exist('/catalog/book')-----返回null
2.xml.value
select @XMLVar.value('/catalog[1]/book[1]','varchar(MAX)')
select @XMLVar.value('/catalog[1]/book[2]/@category','varchar(MAX)')
select @XMLVar.value('/catalog[2]/book[1]','varchar(MAX)')
結果集為:
Windows Step By StepBill Zack49.99 Developer NULL
3.xml.query
select @XMLVar.query('/catalog[1]/book')
select @XMLVar.query('/catalog[1]/book[1]')
select @XMLVar.query('/catalog[1]/book[2]/author')
結果集分別為:
<book category="ITPro">

<price>49.99</price>
</book>

4.xml.nodes
select T.c.query('.') as result from @XMLVar.nodes('/catalog/book') as T(c)
select T.c.query('title') as result from @XMLVar.nodes('/catalog/book') as T(c)
結果集分別為:
