sql server中新增加了xml.modify()方法，分别为xml.modify(insert),xml.modify(delete),xml.modify(replace)对应xml的插入，删除和修改操作。
本文以下面xml为例，对三种dml进行说明：
复制代码 代码如下:
declare @xmlvar xml;
set @xmlvar= ‘
<catalog>
<book category=”itpro”>
<title>windows step by step</title>

<price>49.99</price>
</book>
<book category=”developer”>
<title>developing ado .net</title>
<author>andrew brust</author>
<price>39.93</price>
</book>
<book category=”itpro”>

</book>
</catalog>
1.xml.modify(insert)语句介绍
a.利用as first,at last,before,after四个参数将元素插入指定的位置
复制代码 代码如下:
set @xmlvar.modify(
‘insert <first name=”at first” /> as first into (/catalog[1]/book[1])’)
set @xmlvar.modify(
‘insert <last name=”at last”/> as last into (/catalog[1]/book[1])’)
set @xmlvar.modify(
‘insert <before name=”before”/> before (/catalog[1]/book[1]/author[1])’)
set @xmlvar.modify(
‘insert <after name=”after”/> after (/catalog[1]/book[1]/author[1])’)
select @xmlvar.query(‘/catalog[1]/book[1]’);
结果集为：
复制代码 代码如下:
1: <book category=”itpro”>
2: <first name=”at first” />
3: <title>windows step by step</title>
4: <before name=”before” />
5: <author>bill zack</author>
6: <after name=”after” />
7: <price>49.99</price>
8: <last name=”at last” />
9: </book>
b.将多个元素插入文档中
复制代码 代码如下:
–方法一：利用变量进行插入
declare @newfeatures xml;
set @newfeatures = n’; <first>one element</first> <second>second element</second>’
set @xmlvar.modify(‘ )
insert sql:variable(“@newfeatures”)
into (/catalog[1]/book[1])’
–方法二：直接插入
set @xmlvar.modify(‘)
insert (<first>one element</first>,<second>second element</second>)
into (/catalog[1]/book[1]/author[1])’
select @xmlvar.query(‘/catalog[1]/book[1]’);
结果集为：
复制代码 代码如下:
1: <book category=”itpro”>
2: <title>windows step by step</title>
3: <author>bill zack
4: <first>one element</first>
5: <second>second element</second>
6: </author>
7: <price>49.99</price>
8: <first>one element</first>
9: <second>second element</second>
10: </book>
c.将属性插入文档中
复制代码 代码如下:
–使用变量插入
declare @var nvarchar(10) = ‘变量插入’
set @xmlvar.modify(
‘insert (attribute var {sql:variable(“@var”)}))
into (/catalog[1]/book[1])’
–直接插入
set @xmlvar.modify(
‘insert (attribute name {“直接插入”}))
into (/catalog[1]/book[1]/title[1])’
–多值插入
set @xmlvar.modify(
‘insert (attribute id {“多值插入1”},attribute name {“多值插入2”}) )
into (/catalog[1]/book[1]/author[1])’
select @xmlvar.query(‘/catalog[1]/book[1]’);
结果集为：
复制代码 代码如下:
1: <book category=”itpro” var=”变量插入”>
2: <title name=”直接插入”>windows step by step</title>
3: <author id=”多值插入1″ name=”多值插入2″>bill zack</author>
4: <price>49.99</price>
5: </book>
d.插入文本节点
复制代码 代码如下:
set @xmlvar.modify(
‘insert text{“at first”} as first)
into (/catalog[1]/book[1])’
select @xmlvar.query(‘/catalog[1]/book[1]’);
结果集为：
复制代码 代码如下:
1: <book category=”itpro”>
2: at first
3: <title>windows step by step</title>
4: <author>bill zack</author>
5: <price>49.99</price>
6: </book>
注意：插入本文同样具体 as first，as last，before，after四种选项，可以参考a中的使用方法
e.插入注释节点
复制代码 代码如下:
set @xmlvar.modify(
n’insert <!–插入评论–>
before (/catalog[1]/book[1]/title[1])’ )
select @xmlvar.query(‘/catalog[1]/book[1]’);
结果集为：
1: <book category=”itpro”>
2: <!–插入评论–>
3: <title>windows step by step</title>
4: <author>bill zack</author>
5: <price>49.99</price>
6: </book>
注意插入注释节点同样具体 as first，as last，before，after四种选项，可以参考a中的使用方法
f.插入处理指令
复制代码 代码如下:
set @xmlvar.modify(
‘insert <?program “instructions.exe” ?>
before (/catalog[1]/book[1]/title[1])’ )
select @xmlvar.query(‘/catalog[1]/book[1]’);
结果集为：
1: <book category=”itpro”>
2: <?program “instructions.exe” ?>
3: <title>windows step by step</title>
4: <author>bill zack</author>
5: <price>49.99</price>
6: </book>
注意插入处理指令同样具体 as first，as last，before，after四种选项，可以参考a中的使用方法
g.根据 if 条件语句进行插入
复制代码 代码如下:
set @xmlvar.modify(
‘insert
if (/catalog[1]/book[1]/title[2]) then
text{“this is a 1 step”}
else ( text{“this is a 2 step”} )
into (/catalog[1]/book[1]/price[1])’ )
select @xmlvar.query(‘/catalog[1]/book[1]’);
结果集为：
1: <book category=”itpro”>
2: <title>windows step by step</title>
3: <author>bill zack</author>
4: <price>49.99this is a 2 step</price>
5: </book>
2.xml.modify(delete)语句介绍
复制代码 代码如下:
–删除属性
set @xmlvar.modify(‘delete /catalog[1]/book[1]/@category’)
–删除节点
set @xmlvar.modify(‘delete /catalog[1]/book[1]/title[1]’)
–删除内容
set @xmlvar.modify(‘delete /catalog[1]/book[1]/author[1]/text()’)
–全部删除
set @xmlvar.modify(‘delete /catalog[1]/book[2]’)
select @xmlvar.query(‘/catalog[1]’);
结果集为：
复制代码 代码如下:
1: <catalog>
2: <book>
3: <author />
4: <price>49.99</price>
5: </book>
6: <book category=”itpro”>
7: <title>windows cluster server</title>
8: <author>stephen forte</author>
9: <price>59.99</price>
10: </book>
11: </catalog>
3.xml.modify(replace)语句介绍
复制代码 代码如下:
–替换属性
set @xmlvar.modify(n’replace value of(/catalog[1]/book[1]/@category)
with (“替换属性”)’ )
–替换内容
set @xmlvar.modify(n’replace value of(/catalog[1]/book[1]/author[1]/text()[1])
with(“替换内容”)’ )
–条件替换
set @xmlvar.modify(n’replace value of (/catalog[1]/book[2]/@category)
with(
if(count(/catalog[1]/book)>4) then
“条件替换1”
else
“条件替换2”)’ )
select @xmlvar.query(‘/catalog[1]’);
[code]
结果集为：
