I have a SQL table with 2 columns. ID(int) and Value(ntext)
The value rows have all sorts of xml strings in them.
ID Value
-- ------------------
1 <ROOT><Type current="TypeA"/></ROOT>
2 <XML><Name current="MyName"/><XML>
3 <TYPE><Colour current="Yellow"/><TYPE>
4 <TYPE><Colour current="Yellow" Size="Large"/><TYPE>
5 <TYPE><Colour current="Blue" Size="Large"/><TYPE>
6 <XML><Name current="Yellow"/><XML>
How do I:
A. List the rows where <TYPE><Colour current="Yellow",
bearing in mind that there is an entry
<XML><Name current="Yellow"/><XML>
B. Modify the rows that contain
<TYPE><Colour current="Yellow" to be
<TYPE><Colour current="Purple"
Thanks! 4 your help
