General XML SQL 2005 Question

Hi All
I am new to Sql Xml and currently working through some examples to
understand XML processing in SQL2005 because we are planning to use SQL 2005
with XML. If this is not the right place to ask this question then my
apologies.
Currently using a XML Schema. Schema is
- <xsd:schema xmlns:xsd="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema">
<xsd:element name="logRecord" type="logRecordType" />
- <xsd:complexType name="errorType">
- <xsd:complexContent>
- <xsd:restriction base="xsd:anyType">
- <xsd:sequence>
<xsd:element name="message" type="xsd:string" />
<xsd:element name="module" type="xsd:string" />
</xsd:sequence>
<xsd:attribute name="number" type="xsd:int" />
</xsd:restriction>
</xsd:complexContent>
</xsd:complexType>
- <xsd:complexType name="informationType">
- <xsd:complexContent>
- <xsd:restriction base="xsd:anyType">
- <xsd:sequence>
<xsd:element name="message" type="xsd:string" />
</xsd:sequence>
<xsd:attribute name="flag" type="flagEnum" />
</xsd:restriction>
</xsd:complexContent>
</xsd:complexType>
- <xsd:complexType name="logRecordType">
- <xsd:complexContent>
- <xsd:restriction base="xsd:anyType">
- <xsd:choice maxOccurs="unbounded">
<xsd:element name="information" type="informationType" />
<xsd:element name="error" type="errorType" />
<xsd:element name="post" type="postType" />
</xsd:choice>
<xsd:attribute name="machine" type="xsd:string" />
<xsd:attribute name="timestamp" type="xsd:dateTime" />
</xsd:restriction>
</xsd:complexContent>
</xsd:complexType>
- <xsd:complexType name="postType">
- <xsd:complexContent>
- <xsd:restriction base="xsd:anyType">
- <xsd:sequence>
<xsd:element name="moreInformation" type="xsd:string" minOccurs="0" />
</xsd:sequence>
<xsd:attribute name="eventType" type="eventEnum" />
</xsd:restriction>
</xsd:complexContent>
</xsd:complexType>
- <xsd:simpleType name="eventEnum">
- <xsd:restriction base="xsd:string">
<xsd:enumeration value="appStart" />
<xsd:enumeration value="appClose" />
<xsd:enumeration value="logIn" />
<xsd:enumeration value="logOut" />
</xsd:restriction>
</xsd:simpleType>
- <xsd:simpleType name="flagEnum">
- <xsd:restriction base="xsd:string">
<xsd:enumeration value="warning" />
<xsd:enumeration value="information" />
<xsd:enumeration value="failure" />
<xsd:enumeration value="custom" />
</xsd:restriction>
</xsd:simpleType>
</xsd:schema>
When I execute
select top 1 * from Universallog For XML Auto
Output I get is
<Universallog ID="1" LogDateTime="2006-09-14T15:50:56.210"
ApplicationName="SalesApp">
<LogRecord>
<logRecord machine="server1" timestamp="2000-01-12T12:13:14Z">
<post eventType="appStart">
<moreInformation>All Services starting</moreInformation>
</post>
</logRecord>
</LogRecord>
</Universallog>
Question
I do not understand where is the Element <LogRecord> is coming from as it
is not defined in the XML Schema
Any feed back provided is greatly appreciated.
Thank you
Regards
SanjayYou need to send more info such as the definition of the UniversalLog table.

specify the schema anywhere. How were you expecting the schema to interact
with SQL Server? SQL Server 2005 allows you to define an XML datatype that
conforms to a particular schema but the closest SQL XML comes to this is
xpath queries using a mapping schema. For XML Explicit will allow you to
define what you want the output to look like but AUTO produces an XML
document based on the columns involved in the select statement.
