How To Retrieve Relational Data with OpenXML in an ASP Client

This article was previously published under Q272271

SUMMARY

Running an OpenXML statement in SQL Server 2000 returns an XML data stream back to the client. This article contains a sample that prints the contents of the XML document back to the client application through an ADODB.Recordset.

MORE INFORMATION

Create a file called TestOpenXML.asp, and then paste in the following code:

Note You must change User ID=<username> and Password=<strong password> to the correct values before you run this code. Makesure that the User ID has the appropriate permissions to perform this operation on the database.
<%@ Language=VBScript %>

<!--#include file="adovbs.inc" -->

    Dim sConn       '   As String
    Dim sQuery      '   As String    
    Dim sXMLDoc     '   As String
    
    ' Setup the Document

    Set adoCmd = Server.CreateObject("ADODB.Command")
    Set adoCmd.ActiveConnection = adoConn
    adoCmd.CommandText = sQuery
    ' Command Type is a Stored Procedure
    adoCmd.CommandType = adCmdStoredProc
    adoCmd.Parameters.Refresh
    adoCmd.Parameters.Item(1).Value = sXMLDoc
    Set adoRs = adoCmd.Execute()
    
    While Not adoRs.EOF
        For i = 0 To adoRs.Fields.Count - 1
            Response.write ( adoRs.Fields(i).Name & ":  " & adoRs.Fields(i).Value & "<br/>")
        Next 
        adoRs.MoveNext
    Wend
    
    adoRs.Close
    adoConn.Close
    set adoRs = Nothing

Use the following file to test the preceding ASP page. Create a file named TestOpenXml.htm, and then paste in the following html:

Create the following stored procedure in the SQL Server 2000 Northwind database:
USE NORTHWIND
GO

CREATE PROCEDURE sp_OpenXML_Example
    @XMLDoc ntext
AS
    DECLARE @ReturnCode INT
    DECLARE @iDoc int

    EXECUTE sp_xml_preparedocument @iDoc OUTPUT, @XMLDoc

    SELECT * FROM OpenXML(@iDoc, '/ROOT/Customers',1)
            WITH (CustomerID varchar(10), ContactName varchar(20))

    EXECUTE sp_xml_removedocument @iDoc

    SELECT @ReturnCode = 1
    RETURN @ReturnCode

Community Feedback System

Very often, it takes hours to solve a problem. Very often, you've looked high and low, and have tried a lot of solutions. When you finally found it, chances are, it was because someone else helped you. Here's your chance to give back. Use our community feedback tool to let others know what worked for you and what didn't.

Please also understand that the community feedback system is not warranted to be correct, it's simply a system that we've built to let people try and help each other. If something in a feedback response doesn't make sense to you, or you're not comfortable making changes that the feedback talks about (like registry edits), please consult a professional.

Thank you for using kbAlertz.com Feedback System.
