Bulk load XML file (SQL2005)

I have saved a dataset as xml on the disk. I want to bulk load the xml file
into a table in the SQL server 2005. I have checked out openrowset (t-sql)
but it seems to me that it can only load data in one column of type xml of a
table. I
dont want to use sp_xml_preparedocument to create an in memory
representation of the xml file.
I know I can use SQLXML in my code but is'nt the functionallity also in the
new System.Data.SqlXml namespace? I have found very little info about this.
Any ideas? Other solutions?
Regards Andreas :-)
PS! I use VS.NET with ADO.NET 2.0, C# and SQL Server 2005 CTP in my project.
Hi,
You can use SQLXMLBulkload component through Interop.
Here is a reference you can use to work from :

|||System.Data.Sqlxml will not ship with Visual Studio.Net 2005. So it is not
recommended to use that.
Use SQLXML 3.0 native components through interop instead.
thanks

Bulk insert a .NET dataset?

Hi,
Does it possible to insert an XML document generated from a Datset to SQL
Server using the SQLXML feature?
and this, without transforming the input document.
In my case this is the situation:
I've an oracle database, I'll develop a small tool that extract some data
fron this database using a VB.NET application.
From this query I'll generate a Dataset, then I'll save it as XML file.
This XML file is sent by FTP and here I want to upload these data to an SQL
Server databases.
My question is: can I upload these data without transforming the XML file?
Before I start my tests, I want to know your experience.
Thanks.
Jerome.
If you have a mapping for it, you can use bulkload to do this.
Alternativly, we also have the SqlXmlAdapter which can be used to persist
changes to a Dataset back to Sql Server.

Building Dynamic Sql in Stored Proc issue

Hi all,

I'm gonna need some help with this one.

I have this stored procedure written up that basically builds a dataset by querying a bunch of tables using outer joins. Our problem now is that it seems it takes a while for the dataset to pull back across the network. We would hence like to filter that dataset by adding on to the query in the procedure dynamically. Heres the query from the proc below:

SELECT N_Client.Prefix,
IsNull(dbo.N_CLIENT.SURNAME, '') + ', ' + IsNull(dbo.N_CLIENT.FIRST_NAME, '') AS Client_FullName,
dbo.N_CLIENT.TITLE,
dbo.N_COMPANY.COMPANY_NAME,
dbo.N_BUSINESS_UNIT.BUSINESS_UNIT_NAME,
dbo.N_DIVISION.DIVISION_NAME,
dbo.N_REF_INDUSTRY.INDUSTRY_NAME,
dbo.N_CLIENT.DIRECT_PHONE,
dbo.N_CLIENT.EMAIL,
dbo.N_CLIENT.TIER_ID,
(SELECT COUNT(Client_ID)
FROM N_Alumni
WHERE N_Alumni.Client_ID = N_Client.Client_ID) AS Alumni,
(SELECT COUNT(Client_ID)
FROM N_XREF_Client_Activity
WHERE N_XREF_Client_Activity.Client_ID = N_Client.Client_ID AND Activity_ID = 1) AS SandB,
(SELECT BAH_EMP_NID
FROM N_XREF_Client_Activity
WHERE N_XREF_Client_Activity.Client_ID = N_Client.Client_ID AND Activity_ID = 1) AS SandBMailer,
(SELECT N_Vw_Client_BAH_Contact.BAH_EMP_NID
FROM N_Vw_Client_BAH_Contact
WHERE Relationship_Type_Code = 'MM' AND N_Vw_client_BAH_Contact.Client_ID = N_Client.Client_ID) AS MMEMPNID,
dbo.N_CLIENT.SURNAME AS Client_Surname,
dbo.N_CLIENT.FIRST_NAME,
dbo.N_CLIENT.FIRST_NAME AS Client_FirstName,
dbo.N_CLIENT.COMPANY_ID,
dbo.N_CLIENT.DIVISION_ID,
dbo.N_CLIENT.BUSINESS_UNIT_ID,
dbo.N_COMPANY.GROUP_ID,
dbo.N_CLIENT.COUNTRY,
dbo.N_GROUP.GROUP_NAME,
dbo.N_CLIENT.CLIENT_ID,
(SELECT IsNull(N_Vw_Client_BAH_Contact.First_Name, '') + ' ' + IsNull(N_Vw_Client_BAH_Contact.Surname, '')
FROM N_Vw_Client_BAH_Contact
WHERE Relationship_Type_Code = 'PC' AND N_Vw_client_BAH_Contact.Client_ID = N_Client.Client_ID) AS PCFullName,
(SELECT N_Vw_Client_BAH_Contact.BAH_EMP_NID
FROM N_Vw_Client_BAH_Contact
WHERE Relationship_Type_Code = 'PC' AND N_Vw_client_BAH_Contact.Client_ID = N_Client.Client_ID) AS PCEMPNID,
(SELECT NMT_Practice_Code
FROM N_Vw_Client_BAH_Contact
WHERE Relationship_Type_Code = 'PC' AND N_Vw_client_BAH_Contact.Client_ID = N_Client.Client_ID) AS NMT_Practice_Code,
(SELECT NMT_Practice_Name
FROM N_Vw_Client_BAH_Contact
WHERE Relationship_Type_Code = 'PC' AND N_Vw_client_BAH_Contact.Client_ID = N_Client.Client_ID) AS NMT_Practice_Name,
#returnTable.AddlFullName,
#returnTable.AddlEMPNID,
#returnTable.FunctionID as Function_ID,
#returnTable.FunctionName as Function_Name,
(SELECT IsNull(N_Vw_Client_BAH_Contact.First_Name, '') + ' ' + IsNull(N_Vw_Client_BAH_Contact.Surname, '')
FROM N_Vw_Client_BAH_Contact
WHERE Relationship_Type_Code = 'CSO' AND N_Vw_client_BAH_Contact.Client_ID = N_Client.Client_ID) AS CSOFullName,
(SELECT N_Vw_Client_BAH_Contact.BAH_EMP_NID
FROM N_Vw_Client_BAH_Contact
WHERE Relationship_Type_Code = 'CSO' AND N_Vw_client_BAH_Contact.Client_ID = N_Client.Client_ID) AS CSOEMPNID,
ISNULL(dbo.N_CLIENT.ARCHIVE_FLAG, 'N') AS Archive_Flag,
dbo.N_COMPANY.TARGET_COMPANY_FLAG,
dbo.N_COMPANY.INDUSTRY_ID,
N_Client.Address1,
N_Client.Address2,
N_Client.Address3,
N_Client.Address4,
N_Client.Address5,
N_Client.City,
N_Client.State,
N_Client.Postal_Code,
N_Client.Country,
N_Client.Region,
N_Client.Office_Code,
N_Client.Broderick_Target_Flag
FROM dbo.N_CLIENT
INNER JOIN
dbo.N_COMPANY ON dbo.N_CLIENT.COMPANY_ID = dbo.N_COMPANY.COMPANY_ID
LEFT OUTER JOIN
dbo.N_GROUP ON dbo.N_COMPANY.GROUP_ID = dbo.N_GROUP.GROUP_ID
LEFT OUTER JOIN
dbo.N_REF_INDUSTRY ON dbo.N_COMPANY.INDUSTRY_ID = dbo.N_REF_INDUSTRY.INDUSTRY_ID
LEFT OUTER JOIN
dbo.N_DIVISION ON dbo.N_DIVISION.DIVISION_ID = dbo.N_CLIENT.DIVISION_ID
LEFT OUTER JOIN
#returnTable ON #returnTable.CLIENT_ID = dbo.N_CLIENT.CLIENT_ID
LEFT OUTER JOIN
dbo.N_BUSINESS_UNIT ON dbo.N_CLIENT.BUSINESS_UNIT_ID = dbo.N_BUSINESS_UNIT.BUSINESS_UNIT_ID
ORDER BY N_Client.client_id
Where upper(title) like '%parameter_value%'
and company_id = 'parameter_value'
and Nmt_practice_code = 'parameter_value' ............and so on

What we would like to do is to add 15 (where some may be null) input parameters to the definition of the query and then somehow (where the parameter is not null), dynamically add that parameter to the WHERE clause of the query illustrated in italics above. The bold print are examples of 3 of the 15 parameters to be passed into the query by the proc, so basically
title, company_id,Nmt_practice_code would be the 3 parameters being passed into this proc.

So in other words if 9 parameters out of the 15 are passed into the proc, we would like those 9 parameters to be added/built dynamically onto the SQL Query as 9 predicates. I hope I have been clear. Does anyone have any experience with this? Help!!

ThanksYou can store your parameters into a 15-column temporary table and then join the main query with it.|||Alternativley...use and exec statemnt ( not for the weak of stomach )

declare @.var_1 varch(10), @.var_2 varchar (10)
set @.var_1 = 'value_1'
set @.var_2 = 'value_2'

exec( ' select * from table where x = ' +@.var_1+ ' and y = ' +@.var_2+ '')

so :

exec('..............
Where upper(title) like %'+@.parameter_value'%
and company_id = '@.parameter_value'
and Nmt_practice_code = '@.parameter_value'')

You effectively have to enclose the whole statement in an exec statement.
Its messy this way, and you will take a while to debig to get it right.

rdjabarov has a good idea.....its more elegant than my approach....
