We can query like below to segregate each elements with multiple delimiter to be resulted in same column.
SELECT STUFF(
(
SELECT '!' + STUFF(p.query(N'for $n in .//*[local-name()!="dailyfrequency"]
return <a>{concat("$",($n/text())[1])}</a>'
).value(N'.',N'nvarchar(max)'),1,1,'')
FROM @xml.nodes(N'/plan/prescriptions/prescription') AS A(p)
FOR XML PATH(''),TYPE).value(N'.',N'nvarchar(max)'),1,1,'')
Result:
ABC$Daily$2$$1$!EDF$Daily$5$5$1$!YTER$Weekly$5$5$1$Monday,Tuesday,Wednesday!YTRE$Daily$2$$1$
But the problem here is this will combine all the tags under a single column.When we look the xml it has 2 major division Prescription id=1 and prescritpion id=2.So our final result will be like this
Result:
ABC$Daily$2$$1$!EDF$Daily$5$5$1$!YTER$Weekly$5$5$1$Monday,Tuesday,Wednesday
YTRE$Daily$2$$1$
I think we have to Shred the Xml for each <Prescriptions> then have to calculate this
Could someone please here to solve this
Thanks in advance,Jayendran
