I have the following XML and you can see it contains three LevelA elements. I want to fetch /LevelA/Value (which is 9101) where /LevelA/LevelB2/LevelC == "Address". Now in PROD, the position of elements might change and so the address element might be first or last or in the middle. I am able to write two separate queries based on indexes but how to write one xpath query that contains the condition within it for matching with address and gives back 9101 independent of position of Level A elements.
DECLARE @x XML;
SET @x = '
<root>
<LevelA>
<LevelB>EqualTo</LevelB>
<LevelB2>
<LevelC>Item4</LevelC>
<LevelC2>Item5</LevelC2>
<LevelC3>
<anyType xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xsi:type="xsd:string">123456</anyType>
</LevelC3>
</LevelB2>
<Value xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xsi:type="xsd:boolean">true</Value>
</LevelA>
<LevelA>
<LevelB>EqualTo</LevelB>
<LevelB2>
<LevelC>Item4</LevelC>
<LevelC2>Item5</LevelC2>
<LevelC3>
<anyType xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xsi:type="xsd:string">123456</anyType>
</LevelC3>
</LevelB2>
<Value xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xsi:type="xsd:boolean">true</Value>
</LevelA>
<LevelA>
<LevelB>EqualTo</LevelB>
<LevelB2>
<LevelC>Address</LevelC>
<LevelC2>House</LevelC2>
<LevelC3/>
</LevelB2>
<Value xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xsi:type="xsd:string">9101</Value>
</LevelA>
</root>
'
SELECT @x.value('/root[1]/LevelA[3][1]/LevelB2[1]/LevelC[1]', 'varchar(max)')
SELECT @x.value('/root[1]/LevelA[3][1]/Value[1]', 'int')
CodePudding user response:
You can do
SELECT @x.value('(/root/LevelA[LevelB2/LevelC = "Address"]/Value)[1]', 'int')
To apply the predicate to LevelA
that LevelB2/LevelC/text()
is "Address"
