Using FOR XML RAW ELEMENTS
How It Works
RAW
ELEMENTS
mode produces very “element-centric” XML. It turns each row in the result set where each
column is converted into an attribute.
RAW ELEMENTS
mode also doesn't produce an XML document, since it has as many root elements
(
raw
) as there are rows in the result set, and an XML document can have only one root element.
Try It: Renaming the row Element
For each row in the result set, the
RAW
mode generates an element called
row
. You can optionally specify
another name for this element by specifying an optional argument to the
RAW
mode, as shown in this
query. To achieve this, you need to add an alias after the
FOR XML RAW
clause, as shown in the following
query.
