Hi,

I have a XML column which contains XML like this:

<Set>
    <Element>
        <ID>
            1
        </ID>
<List>
    <ListElement>
        <Part1>
            ListElement 1
        </Part1>
    </ListElement>
    <ListElement>
        <Part1>
            ListElement2
        </Part1>
    </ListElement>
</List>
    </Element>
    <Element>
        <ID>
            2
        </ID>
<List>
    <ListElement>
        <Part1>
            ListElement3
        </Part1>
    </ListElement>
    <ListElement>
        <Part1>
            ListElement4
        </Part1>
    </ListElement>
</List>
    </Element>
</Set>

I would like to shred this into a relation table containing this:

ID, ListElement
1, ListElement1
1, ListElement2
2, ListElement3
2, ListElement4

I am able to obtain the content of the Parts using something like this:

select      
    List.value('(Part1/text())[1]', 'varchar(max)') as test
from 
    Table CROSS APPLY 
      xml.nodes('// Element/List/ListElement') AS List(List)

but I have not yet achieved to keep the ‘foreign key’ (the ID value).

Thanks.

Best wishes,

Christian
