The Solution Rating System

With so many solutions, how can you tell which solutions are most likely to help you and which ones are not? To provide you with a tool to use, we rate our solutions based on various elements that most accurately determine if a solution is a quality solution. To explain what factors affect the solution rating, here are the elements we take into consideration when formulating our solution rating.

  • The Grade of the Solution
  • The Zone Rank of the Expert Providing the Solution
  • The Number of Author and Expert Comments
  • The Number of Experts Contributing
  • The Feedback of the Community

Your Input Matters
Because of the way the system is set up, the most important variable in this equation is you. As a member of Experts Exchange, you are able to cast your vote on the quality of the solutions in regard to how complete, accurate, helpful and easy to understand each solution is. When you provide your feedback, each rating is adjusted accordingly. So, if you see a solution that has a poor rating that you think is a good solution, let us know by rating it. As you do, the rating will be adjusted and will become more accurate for other members of our site.

If you have any suggestions that you would like to make for our rating system, please ask a question in the Suggestions Zone of Community Support.

Thank you!

Querying XML Data& using Value method

Asked by misermice in XQuery, XML Databases, MS SQL Server

Tags: sql server, XMLSQL, DBA, T-SQL, MS SQL Server, XML

In querying the XML data we have four methods namely
Querymethod      Returns a fragment of untyped XML
Value method       Returns XML data as a scalar datatype
exists method       Checks whether a certain node exists in the XML data
nodes method       Returns a single column rowset of nodes from the XML column

In Value method,  I tried the value method it gives error?

SELECT BookDetails.value('root/Code','integer') FROM Books
 
Msg 2389, Level 16, State 1, Line 1
XQuery [Books.BookDetails.value()]: 'value()' requires a singleton (or empty sequence), found operand of type 'xs:integer *'

My books Table looks like in attachment
 

This is how Books table was created

CREATE TABLE Books
(
BookID smallint IDENTITY(101,1),
Price smallmoney,
BookDetails XML (BookTypes))


BookDetails is of Type XML and its schema definition follows

-- Creating XML SCHEMA Collection
CREATE XML SCHEMA COLLECTION BookTypes AS '
<schema xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema">
<element name="root">
<complexType>
<sequence>
<element name="BookGenere" type="string"/>
<element name="Code" type="integer"/>
</sequence>
</complexType>
</element>
</schema>'



Same is the case with other parameter of BookDetails i.e BookGenere

SELECT BookDetails.value('root/BookGenere','string') FROM Books

Msg 9500, Level 16, State 1, Line 1
The data type 'string' used in the VALUE method is invalid.

In the dfinition is clearly mentioned that its type is integer
And while inserting values also the schema stood by its definition

But when iam trying to retrive the values , its not working
Please help
