The FOR XML EXPLICIT ModeThe query defines the shape of the generated XML document. The ultimate goal of thequery is making hierarchical data fit into a tabular rowset. An EXPLICIT mode querycreates a virtual table in which all the information fetched from the tables is organized insuch a way that it can then be easily rendered in XML. The definition of the schema isfree, and of course, programmers must ensure that the final output is well-formed XML.Any FOR XML EXPLICIT query requires two extra metacolumns, named Tag andParent. The values in these columns are used to generate the XML hierarchy. The Tagcolumn contains a unique numeric index for each XML root node that is expected tohave children in the XML schema. The Parent column contains a tag value that links agiven node to a particular, and previously defined, subtree.To add columns, you must use a relatively complex syntax for column aliases. Eachselected column must have an alias defined according to the following syntax:SELECT column_name AS [ParentNode!ParentTag!TagName!Directive]TheParentNode item represents the name of the node element that is expected to bethe parent of the column data. The ParentTag is the tag number of the parent. TheTagName item indicates the name of the XML element that contains the column data.Finally, the Directive element can take various values, the most common ones being novalue or element. If no value is specified, the column data is rendered as an attributenamed TagName; otherwise, it will be an element attribute.It's interesting to note that an EXPLICIT mode query consists of one or more tables thatresult from SELECT statements potentially involving multiple tables and joined data.Let's see what's needed to obtain the following XML representation of the rows in theNorthwind database's Employees table:birthdatecityhiredatetitlenotesThe boldface lines in this code represent the roots of the three subtrees of XML databeing created. Each subtree corresponds to a different tag, and each must be filled byresorting to a different SELECT statement.To begin filling the subtrees, consider the following query:SELECT 1 AS Tag,NULL AS Parent,employeeid AS [Employee!1!ID],289
lastname AS [Employee!1!Name]This statement fills in the first tag—the fragment's root—which has no parent andcontains two attributes, ID and Name. The employeeid and the lastname columns willfill respectively the ID and the Name attributes of an node with no parent.The first table always defines the structure of the XML view. Successive tables can onlyfill in holes—nothing new will be added. Consequently, to obtain the previous schema,you must write the first tag as follows:SELECT 1 AS Tag,NULL AS Parent,employeeid AS [Employee!1!ID],titleofcourtesy + ' ' + lastname + ', ' + firstnameAS [Employee!1!Name],NULL AS [PersonalData!2!BirthDate!element],NULL AS [PersonalData!2!City!element],NULL AS [JobData!3!HireDate!element],NULL AS [JobData!3!Title!element],lastname AS [Employee!1!Notes!element]FROM EmployeesThe columns with NULL values will be selected by successive queries. In particular,you'll notice PersonalData and JobData trees with tag IDs of 2 and 3, respectively. Theformer contains a pair of BirthDate and City elements. The latter holds elements namedTitle and HireDate.To unify all the subtables, you must use the UNION ALL statement. The completestatement is shown here:SELECT1 AS Tag,NULL AS Parent,employeeid AS [Employee!1!ID],titleofcourtesy + ' ' + lastname + ', ' + firstnameAS [Employee!1!Name],NULL AS [PersonalData!2!BirthDate!element],NULL AS [PersonalData!2!City!element],NULL AS [JobData!3!HireDate!element],NULL AS [JobData!3!Title!element],lastname AS [Employee!1!Notes!element]FROM EmployeesUNION ALLSELECT2, 1,employeeid,290
