Update XML attribute value based on condition with XQUERY
Recently I had one article which shows how to update XML attribute value which doesn’t had any checking/condition while update. One of the reader asked me how can he update value based on condition. Here is the solution for it.
CREATE TABLE Orders ( ID INT IDENTITY(1,1), ClientID VARCHAR(6), TestDetails XML, OrderDate DATETIME DEFAULT GETDATE() ) GO
INSERT INTO Orders (ClientID,TestDetails)
SELECT ‘CHEM02′,'<TestDetails><Test Dept=”VOC” Name=”VOC MS Group1” /></TestDetails>’ UNION ALL
SELECT ‘ACCU01′,'<TestDetails><Test Dept=”VOC” Name=”SVOC Full” /></TestDetails>’ UNION ALL
SELECT ‘CBI001′,'<TestDetails><Test Dept=”VOC” Name=”PCB” /></TestDetails>’
GO
Now we will change attribute “Dept”’s value from “VOC” to appropriate value.
-- updating new attribute UPDATE Orders SET TestDetails.modify(' replace value of (/TestDetails/Test/@Dept)[1] with ( if (/TestDetails/Test/@Name="SVOC Full") then "SVOC" else "VOC" ) ') GO
Let us now execute SELECT statement on Orders table to confirm that whether we have new valie in attribute “Dept” added inside “Test” element or not?
SELECT * FROM Orders GO
