EXEC sp_xml_removedocument @handle

you first to create space for Xml document in sql server and a handle for it which is like a pointer ,then you need to parse the xml document using “sp_xml_preparedocument” then you need to remove the handle by executing “sp_xml_removedocument” .and you are done ,what i have done is that ,I`ve stored the output into “xml_tbl1″.

Note: table definition attributes mentioned with “with” statement should exactly  match the tags in xml.

query     : select * from xml_tbl1

output:

amol            10    A
Alok             10    A
Bhavesh        10    B

School table:

roll        fname                                    DOB

101          aakash                  1990-01-01 00:00:00.000
102         amol                      1990-02-04 00:00:00.000
103         bahadur               1990-11-22 00:00:00.000
104         chatanya             1990-12-01 00:00:00.000
105        dinesh               1991-12-12 00:00:00.000
106         Elton                     1990-04-03 00:00:00.000
107        Ferdinand            1990-12-31 00:00:00.000
108        Farookh                1990-12-04 00:00:00.000

Now take a close look at roll 105  his age shud be 19 years and let us calculate his age by using SQL “datediff()”

Query        :-   select datediff(YY,@dob,getdate()) As’Age’

Output      :-   20

Solution   :-

select * from student where rollno=105

use DB_trainee
declare @i int,@dob datetime
select @dob= dob from dbo.student where rollno=105–pass DOB of roll 101 to var @DOB

SET @i=datediff(mm,@dob,getdate())– differentiate acc to month

declare @year int,@month int
set @year=@i/12
set @month=(@i%12)
SELECT (cast(@year as varchar(20)))+’ years and ‘+(cast(@month as varchar(20)))+’ months’ as ‘AGE’

select datediff(YY,@dob,getdate()) As’Age’

Here is tyhe output of the query  :-

record   of  roll 105            :-    1    105    Dinesh    DBA      1989-12-12 00:00:00.000

output with  my solution :-    19 years and 8 months

output with SQL fun           :-    20

You can observe the difference.
