SQL XML Problemi espliciti con la creazione dell'albero XML (genitore-figlio)

Question

Sto affrontando alcuni problemi con XML esplicito in SQL Server in cui non emette XML in base alla relazione che ho specificato in query SQL.La query viene eseguita sul database dei Pub e anche se il percorso XML è più facile da usare il mio trainer ha bisogno di fatto su XML esplicito.

    SELECT  1               AS Tag,
        NULL            AS Parent,
        NULL            AS [TitleTypes!1],
        NULL            AS [TitleType!2!Type],
        NULL            AS [TitleType!2!AveragePrice],
        NULL            AS [Title!3!title_id],
        NULL            AS [Title!3!price]

UNION ALL
SELECT  2,
        1,
        NULL            ,
        type            AS [TitleType!2!Type],
        AVG(price)      AS [TitleType!2!AveragePrice],
        NULL            AS [Title!3!title_id],
        NULL            AS [Title!3!price]
from titles 
GROUP BY type   
UNION ALL
SELECT  3,
        2,
        NULL            ,
        type            AS [TitleType!2!Type],
        NULL            AS [TitleType!2!AveragePrice],
        title_id        AS [Title!3!title_id],
        price           AS [Title!3!price]

from titles     

FOR XML EXPLICIT;

.

L'uscita che produce:

    <TitleTypes>
  <TitleType Type="business    " AveragePrice="13.7300" />
  <TitleType Type="mod_cook    " AveragePrice="11.4900" />
  <TitleType Type="popular_comp" AveragePrice="21.4750" />
  <TitleType Type="psychology  " AveragePrice="13.5040" />
  <TitleType Type="trad_cook   " AveragePrice="15.9633" />
  <TitleType Type="UNDECIDED   ">
    <Title title_id="BU1032" price="19.9900" />
    <Title title_id="BU1111" price="11.9500" />
    <Title title_id="BU2075" price="2.9900" />
    <Title title_id="BU7832" price="19.9900" />
    <Title title_id="MC2222" price="19.9900" />
    <Title title_id="MC3021" price="2.9900" />
    <Title title_id="MC3026" />
    <Title title_id="PC1035" price="22.9500" />
    <Title title_id="PC8888" price="20.0000" />
    <Title title_id="PC9999" />
    <Title title_id="PS1372" price="21.5900" />
    <Title title_id="PS2091" price="10.9500" />
    <Title title_id="PS2106" price="7.0000" />
    <Title title_id="PS3333" price="19.9900" />
    <Title title_id="PS7777" price="7.9900" />
    <Title title_id="TC3218" price="20.9500" />
    <Title title_id="TC4203" price="11.9500" />
    <Title title_id="TC7777" price="14.9900" />
  </TitleType>
</TitleTypes>

.

L'uscita che voglio:

   <TitleTypes>
    <TitleType Type="business" AveragePrice="11.22">
        <Title title_id="BU1111" Price="11.34"/>
        <Title title_id="TC7777" Price="14.2"/>
    </TitleType>
    <TitleType Type="popular_comp" AveragePrice="13.99">
        <Title title_id="BU1111" Price="15.9"/>
        <Title title_id="TC7777" Price="16.22"/>
    </TitleType>
</TitleTypes>

Answer 1

Di solito, non è necessario affatto la modalità esplicita.Puoi generare quasi ogni XML Vuoi con per il percorso XML :

select
    t1.type as [@Type],
    avg(t1.price) as [@AveragePrice],
    (
        select
            t2.title_id as [@title_id],
            t2.price as [@price]
        from titles as t2
        where t2.type = t1.type
        for xml path('Title'), type
    )
from titles as t1
group by t1.type
for xml path('TitleType'), root('TitleTypes')

.

Ma dal momento che il tuo XML è attributo-centric, è ancora più facile per te usare per XML Raw :

select
    t1.type as [Type],
    avg(t1.price) as AveragePrice,
    (
        select
            t2.title_id
            t2.price
        from titles as t2
        where t2.type = t1.type
        for xml raw('Title'), type
    )
from titles as t1
group by t1.type
for xml raw('TitleType')

Ecco la soluzione che ha funzionato per me.Guarda nell'ordine per clausola.Se si utilizza SQL Server Management Studio in ordine per clausola ti mostrerà il possibile nome della colonna con cui è possibile formattare l'output XML come desideri.

SELECT  1               AS Tag,
            NULL            AS Parent,
            NULL            AS [TitleTypes!1],
            NULL            AS [TitleType!2!Type],
            NULL            AS [TitleType!2!AveragePrice],
            NULL            AS [Title!3!title_id],
            NULL            AS [Title!3!price]

    UNION ALL
    SELECT  2,
            1,
            NULL            ,
            type            AS [TitleType!2!Type],
            AVG(price)      AS [TitleType!2!AveragePrice],
            NULL            AS [Title!3!title_id],
            NULL            AS [Title!3!price]
    from titles 
    GROUP BY type   
    UNION ALL
    SELECT  3,
            2,
            NULL            ,
            type            AS [TitleType!2!Type],
            NULL            AS [TitleType!2!AveragePrice],
            title_id        AS [Title!3!title_id],
            price           AS [Title!3!price]

    from titles     

    ORDER BY [TitleTypes!1], [TitleType!2!Type], [Title!3!title_id] ,Tag

    FOR XML EXPLICIT;

P.S.Per XML esplicito fa schifo.Ma se stai sviluppando / aggiornando un sistema davvero vecchio, devi conoscerlo prima di sostituirlo con le tecniche più recenti.
