How do I remove/ignore the XML namespace in an xml file when querying the data with T-SQL?
I’m loading an xml file into a variable, and it works just fine. But the xml has a namespace set, and unless I remove it, my queries come up empty.
T-SQL:
DECLARE @xml xml
SELECT @xml = BulkColumn FROM OPENROWSET(BULK 'C:\myfile.xml', SINGLE_BLOB) AS A
SELECT X.z.value('ID[1]', 'VARCHAR(3)') FROM @xml.nodes('myroot/element') AS X(z)XML sample:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<myroot xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xmlns:xsd="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema">
<element>
<ID>1</ID>
</element>
<element>
<ID>2</ID>
</element>
<element>
<ID>3</ID>
</element>
</myroot>This works, the query returns this:
1
2
3
But the XML also contains a default namespace:
<myroot xmlns="http://XXX" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xmlns:xsd="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema">The xmlns="http://XXX" completely screws up my query. And unfortunately manually modifying the xml before loading it is not really an option.
Questions:
- How do I remove or ignore the namespace when I load the data into the variable?
- Or how do I modify my query to handle the namespace?

Just use this:
The
WITH XMLNAMESPACESallows you to define namespace aliasses for your queries, and if you don't care about a specific XML namespace prefix, you can just define it asDEFAULTnamespace and be done with it.qoefvg9y2#
I was facing the same problem in my XML Query.
Namespace "xmlns="urn:tradefeed-xsd"was creating problem and my query returns empty.Once I used
;WITH XMLNAMESPACES(DEFAULT 'urn:tradefeed-xsd')statement before my select statement it returns data.
