I am trying to do a count on the number of occurrences of the "Colors" node but have been so far unsuccessful.
Below is what I have tried so far.
If I have the following logic:
DECLARE @MyXML XML
SET @MyXML = '<SampleXML>
<Colors>
<Color1>White</Color1>
<Color2>Blue</Color2>
<Color3>Black</Color3>
<Color4 Special="Light">Green</Color4>
<Color5>Red</Color5>
</Colors>
<Fruits>
<Fruits1>Apple</Fruits1>
<Fruits2>Pineapple</Fruits2>
<Fruits3>Grapes</Fruits3>
<Fruits4>Melon</Fruits4>
</Fruits>
</SampleXML>'
SELECT
count(a.b.value('Colors','varchar(10)')) AS Color1
FROM @MyXML.nodes('SampleXML') a(b)
I get the following error:
Msg 2389, Level 16, State 1, Line 50
XQuery [value()]: 'value()' requires a singleton (or empty sequence), found operand of type 'xdt:untypedAtomic *'
Count the XML elements (XPath)newXPath(); NodeList nodes = (NodeList) xpath. evaluate("//staff", doc, XPathConstants. NODESET); int count = nodes. getLength();
This will count the number of Colors nodes which is 1
.
select @MyXML.value('count(/SampleXML/Colors)', 'int')
This will count the number of rows in Colors
which is 5
.
select @MyXML.value('count(/SampleXML/Colors/*)', 'int')
select @MyXML.value('count(/SampleXML/Colors)', 'INT') AS 'Count'
