Explain the concepts and capabilities of FOR XML in SQL
Server 2005
SQL Server 2000 provides the facility to retrieve data in the form of XML with
the help of the FOR XML clause appended to the end of a SELECT statement.
There are 3 types of FOR XML modes — RAW, AUTO, and EXPLICIT.
They all generate a different style of XML document.
Capabilities of FOR XML in SQL Server 2005:
-
The new XML datatype in SQL 2005, and the new associated methods (query,
exists, value, and nodes)
-
A reusable T-SQL UDF to convert XML to a table variable
-
New SELECT FOR….XML capabilities
-
Performing partial text searches inside an XML DataColumn
