How to Replace for the XML Path in T-SQL
The Microsoft SQL Server "xml path" statement sets the XML root node for a list of records. Transact SQL, or T-SQL, lets you query a database and set up the results in an XML layout. XML functionality started with SQL Server 2005, and the language is included with subsequent versions of the T-SQL language. Use the "xml path" statement to set up your exported XML data, and replace the XML path in your SQL stored procedures in the SQL editor.
