Generarting XML based on Schema in SQLSERVER 2005

Hi,

i have the following requirement

Can a stored procedure in SQL Server 2005 generate XML data based on the schema, We don't prefer to manually build an xml string inside the stored proc?

Is there any SQL Server 2005 feature to do it if possible?

i appreciate your help.

Thanks,

Vaishu

Yes this is possible. Michael Rys' article about FOR XML support and the Xml datatype shows examples of this:

The section entitled "Integration with the Xml Datatype" would most likely address your scenario.
