Insert XML File Data into Existing Table












1















I'm trying to insert contents of an XML file into an existing table. So far I only have the below:



DECLARE @NewCustomers XML;
SET @NewCustomers = '
<NewCustomers>

<Customer LastName="Chan" FirstName="Isabella" Password=""
EmailAddress="izzychan@yahoo.com"/>

<Customer LastName="Prine" FirstName="John" Password=""
EmailAddress="johnprine@gmail.com"/>

<Customer LastName="Kitchen" FirstName="Kathy" Password=""
EmailAddress="kathykitchen@sbcglobal.net"/>

</NewCustomers>
'
;

INSERT INTO Customers (EmailAddress, Password, FirstName, LastName)
Values(
@NewCustomers
)
GO


But I get an error "There are more columns in the INSERT statement than values specified in the VALUES clause. The number of values in the VALUES clause must match the number of columns specified in the INSERT statement."



And Completely stumped here anything can help Thank you!

          The XML will not parse itself.



          Example



          INSERT INTO Customers (EmailAddress, Password, FirstName, LastName)
          Select EMailAddress = x.v.value('@EmailAddress','VARCHAR(150)')
          ,Password = x.v.value('@Password','VARCHAR(150)')
          ,FirstName = x.v.value('@FirstName','VARCHAR(150)')
          ,LastName = x.v.value('@LastName','VARCHAR(150)')
          From @NewCustomers.nodes('NewCustomers/Customer') x(v)


          The Select will produce the following



          EMailAddress                    Password    FirstName   LastName
          izzychan@yahoo.com Isabella Chan
