What is the easiest way to export to XML from SQL Server [Table or view] to XML?
This is what I have done till now
Execute Sql Task
SELECT * FROM Production.Product
FOR XML AUTO, TYPE, ROOT('Data')
ResultSet XML
in left result set section I have created new variable 0 User::XMLVal
Script Task
Dim sw As New IO.StreamWriter("D:\Apps\SSIS\test.xml")
sw.Write(Dts.Variables("User::XMLVal").Value.ToString())
sw.Dispose()
If you want to use the task components, set up an Execute SQL Task
to read the result of a SQL statement or stored procedure into a user-defined SSIS variable. Your statement above is a good example of what it should look like:
Then use the XML Task
to write the contents of the variable to a file:
You can also use the query in a data flow source adapter and use the Export Column Transformation --- Using SSIS to extract a XML representation of table data to a file
This saves you the trouble of managing your own scripts and what not, it's all out of the box functionality.
