In This post we are going to see how to get the data from the table as XML in SQL SERVER.
Data are stored as XML in SQL SERVER internally, but when we view in UI, it looks like Grid or Flat file in Management studio
The output of the explicit mode contains all the information of the resulting XML tree. The FOR XML clause in EXPLICIT mode associates with every element, a tag number of the current element and tag number for parent element. This tag numbers are stored in separate columns, named Tag and Parent Respectively.
SELECT 1 AS Tag,
NULL AS Parent,
id AS [Employees!1!id],
department AS [Employees!1!dept],
name AS[Employees!1]
FROM employee
FOR XML EXPLICIT
Output:
<Employees id="2" dept="Tech">DF</Employees>
<Employees id="3" dept="HR">Siv</Employees>
<Employees id="4" dept="BA">SS</Employees>
From this post you can learn how to get the data from table as XML in SQL SERVER
