I want to pass xml document to sql server stored procedure such as this:
CREATE PROCEDURE BookDetails_Insert (@xml xml)
I want compare some field data with other table data and if it is matching that records has to inserted in to the table.
Requirements:
How do I pass XML to the stored procedure? I tried this, but it doesn’t work:[Working]
command.Parameters.Add( new SqlParameter("@xml", SqlDbType.Xml) { Value = new SqlXml(new XmlTextReader(xmlToSave.InnerXml, XmlNodeType.Document, null)) });
How do I access the XML data within the stored procedure?
Edit: [Working]
String sql = "BookDetails_Insert";
XmlDocument xmlToSave = new XmlDocument();
xmlToSave.Load("C:\\Documents and Settings\\Desktop\\XML_Report\\Books_1.xml");
SqlConnection sqlCon = new SqlConnection("...");
using (DbCommand command = sqlCon.CreateCommand())
{
**command.CommandType = CommandType.StoredProcedure;**
command.CommandText = sql;
command.Parameters.Add(
new SqlParameter("@xml", SqlDbType.Xml)
{
Value = new SqlXml(new XmlTextReader(xmlToSave.InnerXml
, XmlNodeType.Document, null))
});
sqlCon.Open();
DbTransaction trans = sqlCon.BeginTransaction();
command.Transaction = trans;
try
{
command.ExecuteNonQuery();
trans.Commit();
sqlCon.Close();
}
catch (Exception)
{
trans.Rollback();
sqlCon.Close();
throw;
}
