I want to replace the value in an attribute in a XML. This attribute comes multiple times in the xml. How can i replace these all at once
my xml lools some what like below :
<Example>
<A>
<B Type = "x">qqq</B>
<B Type = "x">www</B>
</A>
<C>
<D Type = "x">aaa</D>
<D Type = "x">uuu</D>
</C>
</Example>
I want to replace all x with y
You can not replace all at once using replace value of (XML DML). You have to do it in a loop.
declare @xml xml = '
<Example>
<A>
<B Type = "x">qqq</B>
<B Type = "x">www</B>
</A>
<C>
<D Type = "x">aaa</D>
<D Type = "x">uuu</D>
</C>
</Example>
'
while (select @xml.exist('//*[@Type = "x"]')) = 1
begin
set @xml.modify('replace value of (//*[@Type = "x"]/@Type)[1] with "y"')
end
select @xml
Result:
<Example>
<A>
<B Type="y">qqq</B>
<B Type="y">www</B>
</A>
<C>
<D Type="y">aaa</D>
<D Type="y">uuu</D>
</C>
</Example>
Update
Replace values x and z with y:
while (select @xml.exist('//*[@Type = ("x","z")]')) = 1
begin
set @xml.modify('replace value of (//*[@Type = ("x","z")]/@Type)[1] with "y"')
end
Replace all values with y:
while (select @xml.exist('//*[@Type != "y"]')) = 1
begin
set @xml.modify('replace value of (//*[@Type != "y"]/@Type)[1] with "y"')
end
You can try the following. Here ns2zarejestrujStanZgodyAsync is main node and I have updated the value of idSystemy from 13 to 38.
UPDATE @t
SET yourXML.modify('replace value of
(/ns2zarejestrujStanZgodyAsync/rejestrujStanZgody/idSystemy/text())[1] with ("38")')
