    SELECT

          SDMPackageDigest.value('(/DesiredConfigurationDigest/SoftwareUpdateBundle/Annotation/DisplayName/@text)[1]', 'nvarchar(max)')  as 'SDMPackageDigest1'

    FROM  vSMS_SoftwareUpdate

     

    I'm trying to get the name out of the xml from column SDMPackageDigest and it returns null everytime. I'm trying get the custom reports for my software updates but would like the names for the report. This is my first road block. I've never pulled an XML attribute from sql before.

    I haven't used SDMPackageDigest, but you need to specify the default namespace. You need to make yourself familiar with the appropriate XPath queries:

    DECLARE @Xml XML = N'

    I think I forgot something, its in column in a sql table already. Will the declare XML piece work for that? I could be pulling up to 500 columns each query.
