使用FOR XML PATH时,如何在嵌套查询中删除冗余命名空间

Question

UPDATE:我发现有提出针对此问题的Microsoft连接的项目在这里

当使用FOR XML PATH和WITH XMLNAMESPACES声明一个默认命名空间时,我会在使用FOR XML的嵌套查询的任何顶级节点中复制命名空间decleration,我偶然发现了几个解决方案,但我并不完全相信.. .

这是一个完整的例子

/*
drop table t1
drop table t2
*/
create table t1 ( c1 int, c2 varchar(50))
create table t2 ( c1 int, c2 int, c3 varchar(50))
insert t1 values 
(1, 'Mouse'),
(2, 'Chicken'),
(3, 'Snake');
insert t2 values
(1, 1, 'Front Right'),
(2, 1, 'Front Left'),
(3, 1, 'Back Right'),
(4, 1, 'Back Left'),
(5, 2, 'Right'),
(6, 2, 'Left')



;with XmlNamespaces( default 'uri:animal')
select 
    a.c2 as "@species"
    , (select l.c3 as "text()" 
       from t2 l where l.c2 = a.c1 
       for xml path('leg'), type) as "legs"
from t1 a
for xml path('animal'), root('zoo')

什么是最好的解决方案？

Answer 1

如果我已正确理解,您指的是您在查询中可能会看到的行为,如下所示:

DECLARE @Order TABLE (
  OrderID INT, 
  OrderDate DATETIME)

DECLARE @OrderDetail TABLE (
  OrderID INT, 
  ItemID VARCHAR(1), 
  ItemName VARCHAR(50), 
  Qty INT)

INSERT @Order 
VALUES 
(1, '2010-01-01'),
(2, '2010-01-02')

INSERT @OrderDetail 
VALUES 
(1, 'A', 'Drink',  5),
(1, 'B', 'Cup',    2),
(2, 'A', 'Drink',  2),
(2, 'C', 'Straw',  1),
(2, 'D', 'Napkin', 1)

;WITH XMLNAMESPACES('http://test.com/order' AS od) 
SELECT
  OrderID AS "@OrderID",
  (SELECT 
     ItemID AS "@od:ItemID", 
     ItemName AS "data()" 
   FROM @OrderDetail 
   WHERE OrderID = o.OrderID 
   FOR XML PATH ('od.Item'), TYPE)
FROM @Order o 
FOR XML PATH ('od.Order'), TYPE, ROOT('xml')

这给出了以下结果:

<xml xmlns:od="http://test.com/order">
  <od.Order OrderID="1">
    <od.Item xmlns:od="http://test.com/order" od:ItemID="A">Drink</od.Item>
    <od.Item xmlns:od="http://test.com/order" od:ItemID="B">Cup</od.Item>
  </od.Order>
  <od.Order OrderID="2">
    <od.Item xmlns:od="http://test.com/order" od:ItemID="A">Drink</od.Item>
    <od.Item xmlns:od="http://test.com/order" od:ItemID="C">Straw</od.Item>
    <od.Item xmlns:od="http://test.com/order" od:ItemID="D">Napkin</od.Item>
  </od.Order>
</xml>

正如您所说,命名空间在子查询的结果中重复.

这种行为是根据devnetnewsgroup(网站现已解散)的对话的一个功能,虽然可以选择投票改变它.

我建议的解决方案是恢复到FOR XML EXPLICIT:

SELECT
  1 AS Tag,
  NULL AS Parent,
  'http://test.com/order' AS [xml!1!xmlns:od],
  NULL AS [od:Order!2],
  NULL AS [od:Order!2!OrderID],
  NULL AS [od:Item!3],
  NULL AS [od:Item!3!ItemID]
UNION ALL
SELECT 
  2 AS Tag,
  1 AS Parent,
  'http://test.com/order' AS [xml!1!xmlns:od],
  NULL AS [od:Order!2],
  OrderID AS [od:Order!2!OrderID],
  NULL AS [od:Item!3],
  NULL [od:Item!3!ItemID]
FROM @Order 
UNION ALL
SELECT
  3 AS Tag,
  2 AS Parent,
  'http://test.com/order' AS [xml!1!xmlns:od],
  NULL AS [od:Order!2],
  o.OrderID AS [od:Order!2!OrderID],
  d.ItemName AS [od:Item!3],
  d.ItemID AS [od:Item!3!ItemID]
FROM @Order o INNER JOIN @OrderDetail d ON o.OrderID = d.OrderID
ORDER BY [od:Order!2!OrderID], [od:Item!3!ItemID]
FOR XML EXPLICIT

并看到这些结果:

<xml xmlns:od="http://test.com/order">
  <od:Order OrderID="1">
    <od:Item ItemID="A">Drink</od:Item>
    <od:Item ItemID="B">Cup</od:Item>
  </od:Order>
  <od:Order OrderID="2">
    <od:Item ItemID="A">Drink</od:Item>
    <od:Item ItemID="C">Straw</od:Item>
    <od:Item ItemID="D">Napkin</od:Item>
  </od:Order>
</xml>

Answer 2

经过几个小时的绝望和数百次试验和错误,我想出了下面的解决方案.

我有同样的问题,当我想只有一个 xmlns属性,则在根节点只.但是我也有一个非常困难的查询,很多子查询和FOR XML EXPLICIT单独的方法太麻烦了.所以,是的,我想要FOR XML PATH子查询的便利性,也希望自己设置xmlns.

我亲切地借用了8kb答案的代码,因为它非常好.为了更好地理解,我稍微调整了一下.这是代码:

DECLARE @Order TABLE (OrderID INT, OrderDate DATETIME)    
DECLARE @OrderDetail TABLE (OrderID INT, ItemID VARCHAR(1), Name VARCHAR(50), Qty INT)    
INSERT @Order VALUES (1, '2010-01-01'), (2, '2010-01-02')    
INSERT @OrderDetail VALUES (1, 'A', 'Drink',  5),
                           (1, 'B', 'Cup',    2),
                           (2, 'A', 'Drink',  2),
                           (2, 'C', 'Straw',  1),
                           (2, 'D', 'Napkin', 1)

-- Your ordinary FOR XML PATH query
DECLARE @xml XML = (SELECT OrderID AS "@OrderID",
                        (SELECT ItemID AS "@ItemID", 
                                Name AS "data()" 
                         FROM @OrderDetail 
                         WHERE OrderID = o.OrderID 
                         FOR XML PATH ('Item'), TYPE)
                    FROM @Order o 
                    FOR XML PATH ('Order'), ROOT('dummyTag'), TYPE)

-- Magic happens here!       
SELECT 1 AS Tag
      ,NULL AS Parent
      ,@xml AS [xml!1!!xmltext]
      ,'http://test.com/order' AS [xml!1!xmlns]
FOR XML EXPLICIT

结果:

<xml xmlns="http://test.com/order">
  <Order OrderID="1">
    <Item ItemID="A">Drink</Item>
    <Item ItemID="B">Cup</Item>
  </Order>
  <Order OrderID="2">
    <Item ItemID="A">Drink</Item>
    <Item ItemID="C">Straw</Item>
    <Item ItemID="D">Napkin</Item>
  </Order>
</xml>

如果@xml单独选择,您会看到它包含根节点dummyTag.我们不需要它,所以我们通过在查询中使用指令 xmltext来删除它FOR XML EXPLICIT:

,@xml AS [xml!1!!xmltext]

虽然在MSDN中的解释听起来更复杂,但实际上它告诉解析器来选择内容的XML根节点.

不确定查询的速度有多快,但目前我很放松,并且在和平地看代码的同时喝苏格兰威士忌......
