Thanks Erland,
I have tried the function you wrote me and it works, but i need it in
the format i meantioned earlier; namely:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?>
<Hardware>
<Category name="PC" id="1">
<Category name="Networks" id="2" />
<Category name="Audio" id="3" />
<Category name="Video" id="4">
<Category name="TV Cards" id="5" />
<Category name="Graphics Cards" id="6">
<Category name="AGP" id="7" />
<Category name="PCI" id="8" />
</Category>
</Category>
<Category name="Input Devices" id="9" />
</Category>
</Hardware>
The format given by your function creates XML Elements which i don't
want. As a matter of fact, i'm not good at XML either, so I tried to
use the FOR XML AUTO instead FOR XML Path('....'); that generated no
elements, but the attribute names inside of each XML node where made
automatically based on the allias of each table such as: e. and c.
In my case it's only one table and it's made as two allises though in
reality it's the same table; so still i might write select ... from
category as [Category] ... join Category as [SubCategory]; that will
genareta a meaningful and selfdescribing XML tags but unfortunatelly
will not be convenient for my asp.net web control whereby i need a
standard name; namely CATEGORY.
Best regards
