    </GLTransactionDistribution>
  </GLTransaction>
</IntegrationData>

Open in new window

--I am only concerned with extracting five fields and created a table to hold those five fields.  I am

create table payroll
(Account [varchar](50),
Amount numeric(14,2) ,
[Description] [varchar](100) ,
DisplayOrder int ,
IsSummaryAcct varchar(5) )

--The below executes but nothing goes into the table
DECLARE @xml XML

SELECT @xml = x.y
FROM OPENROWSET( BULK 'F:\payroll.xml', SINGLE_CLOB ) x(y)

insert into payroll (Account, Amount, [Description], DisplayOrder, IsSummaryAcct)
SELECT
      c.c.value('(Column[@Name="Account"]/text())[1]', 'VARCHAR(25)') Account,
      c.c.value('(Column[@Name="Amount"]/text())[1]', 'Numeric(14,2)') Amount,
      c.c.value('(Column[@Name="Description"]/text())[1]', 'VARCHAR(100)') [Description],
      c.c.value('(Column[@Name="DisplayOrder"]/text())[1]', 'INT') DisplayOrder,
      c.c.value('(Column[@Name="IsSummaryAcct"]/text())[1]', 'VARCHAR(5)') IsSummaryAcct
FROM @xml.nodes('IntegrationData/GLTransaction/GLTransactionDistribution') AS c(c)

Any help or suggestions would be appreciated.  Thank you.
