Your current query contains a line



SET @XML = replace(replace(cast(@XML as nvarchar(max)),
'<ProofRecipient CorrectionsRequired="YES"/>', ''),
'<AdditionalEmail></AdditionalEmail>','<AdditionalEmail/>')


(it's one long line, about the 10th one counting from below).



I've introduced line breaks to make it more visible what is going on; it looks like you're deliberately replacing the empty tag. The second argument of the REPLACE function ('<AdditionalEmail></AdditionalEmail>') is what it should look for, and the third argument ('<AdditionalEmail/>') is what it will be replaced with.

There are a couple of answers on SO that should point you in the right direction:



Here, and
Here



To summarise, you should try using FOR XML PATH instead of FOR XML RAW to try and avoid the self-closing tag, however, as Martin Smith has pointed out in the comments to your question, semantically self-closing and empty tags are the same, so they should work in either format unless the tool ingesting the XML is reading it as a string instead of an XML document.



Below is an example of this in action:



CREATE TABLE XmlTestData (ID INT IDENTITY, PossiblyEmptyColumn VARCHAR(255))
GO

INSERT INTO XmlTestData (PossiblyEmptyColumn)
VALUES ('Test 1'), (NULL), ('Test 3')
GO

SELECT ID,
COALESCE(PossiblyEmptyColumn, '') AS PossiblyEmptyColumn
FROM XmlTestData
FOR XML PATH('Row'), TYPE, ELEMENTS, ROOT('Data')


This produces the below output:



<Data>
<Row>
<ID>1</ID>
<PossiblyEmptyColumn>Test 1</PossiblyEmptyColumn>
</Row>
<Row>
<ID>2</ID>
<PossiblyEmptyColumn></PossiblyEmptyColumn>
</Row>
<Row>
<ID>3</ID>
<PossiblyEmptyColumn>Test 3</PossiblyEmptyColumn>
</Row>
</Data>


In the code you've provided, you're explicitly replacing the empty tags with self-closing tags using this line:



SET  @XML = replace(replace(cast(@XML as nvarchar(max)), '<ProofRecipient CorrectionsRequired="YES"/>', ''), '<AdditionalEmail></AdditionalEmail>','<AdditionalEmail/>')


Replace that with this:



SET  @XML = replace(cast(@XML as nvarchar(max)), '<ProofRecipient CorrectionsRequired="YES"/>', '')


And your empty tags will not be replaced with self-closing tags, provided you've switched to using XML FOR PATH instead of XML FOR RAW.

  • Thank you Handyd.Since iam assinging the output to XML datatype variable @xml its converting to self closing tag.As you said it returns empty tag if i return xml result as its is without assignment.The issue is again assigning to xml datatype variable.Then tell me how to replace '<ProofRecipient CorrectionsRequired="YES"/>' to empty

  • If its always going to be empty, and based on your script it is always "YES" so will always be empty, can you not simply remove it from the script? Note also that the reason "CorrectionsRequired" appears as a property of the tag is the use of RAW instead of PATH.

  • I've added some examples to clarify. The main issue seems to be switching between use of XML FOR PATH and XML FOR RAW, and then doing a REPLACE that switches to self-closing tags.

  • Thank you Handyd.Since iam assinging the output to XML datatype variable @xml its converting to self closing tag.As you said it returns empty tag if i return xml result as its is without assignment.The issue is again assigning to xml datatype variable.Then tell me how to replace '<ProofRecipient CorrectionsRequired="YES"/>' to empty

  • If its always going to be empty, and based on your script it is always "YES" so will always be empty, can you not simply remove it from the script? Note also that the reason "CorrectionsRequired" appears as a property of the tag is the use of RAW instead of PATH.

There are a couple of answers on SO that should point you in the right direction:



Here, and
Here



To summarise, you should try using FOR XML PATH instead of FOR XML RAW to try and avoid the self-closing tag, however, as Martin Smith has pointed out in the comments to your question, semantically self-closing and empty tags are the same, so they should work in either format unless the tool ingesting the XML is reading it as a string instead of an XML document.



Below is an example of this in action:



CREATE TABLE XmlTestData (ID INT IDENTITY, PossiblyEmptyColumn VARCHAR(255))
GO

INSERT INTO XmlTestData (PossiblyEmptyColumn)
VALUES ('Test 1'), (NULL), ('Test 3')
GO

SELECT ID,
COALESCE(PossiblyEmptyColumn, '') AS PossiblyEmptyColumn
FROM XmlTestData
FOR XML PATH('Row'), TYPE, ELEMENTS, ROOT('Data')


This produces the below output:



<Data>
<Row>
<ID>1</ID>
<PossiblyEmptyColumn>Test 1</PossiblyEmptyColumn>
</Row>
<Row>
<ID>2</ID>
<PossiblyEmptyColumn></PossiblyEmptyColumn>
</Row>
<Row>
<ID>3</ID>
<PossiblyEmptyColumn>Test 3</PossiblyEmptyColumn>
</Row>
</Data>


In the code you've provided, you're explicitly replacing the empty tags with self-closing tags using this line:



SET  @XML = replace(replace(cast(@XML as nvarchar(max)), '<ProofRecipient CorrectionsRequired="YES"/>', ''), '<AdditionalEmail></AdditionalEmail>','<AdditionalEmail/>')


Replace that with this:



SET  @XML = replace(cast(@XML as nvarchar(max)), '<ProofRecipient CorrectionsRequired="YES"/>', '')


And your empty tags will not be replaced with self-closing tags, provided you've switched to using XML FOR PATH instead of XML FOR RAW.
