将 XML 数据读入分层表

Question

我有 XML 用于存储测验结果的数据。我需要将其转换成两个表，一个包含问题，另一个包含答案，但至关重要的是，它们之间要有关系。

目前这个关系只存在于XML结构中（没有ID值等）。

经过一天的研究和测试不同的方法，我已经提取了这两个部分，但无法弄清楚如何创建层次结构：

declare @xml xml = N'<quizresult>
  <question>
    <questionText>Which fire extinguisher is most suitable for a waste paper basket fire?</questionText>
    <answer number="0" value="0" chosen="0" imageURL="">Powder</answer>
    <answer number="1" value="0" chosen="0" imageURL="">Carbon Dioxide (CO2)</answer>
    <answer number="2" value="1" chosen="1" imageURL="">Water (H2O)</answer>
    <answer number="3" value="0" chosen="0" imageURL="">Foam</answer>
    <result>Correct</result>
  </question>
  <question>
    <questionText>What should your immediate action be on hearing a fire alarm?</questionText>
    <answer number="0" value="0" chosen="0" imageURL="">Find all of your colleagues before making a speedy exit together</answer>
    <answer number="1" value="0" chosen="0" imageURL="">Collect all your valuables before making a speedy exit</answer>
    <answer number="2" value="0" chosen="0" imageURL="">Check the weather to see if you need your coat before leaving</answer>
    <answer number="3" value="1" chosen="1" imageURL="">Leave the building by the nearest exit, closing doors behind you if the rooms are empty</answer>
    <result>Correct</result>
  </question>
  <question>
    <questionText>Which is the most suitable extinguisher for a Computer which is on fire?</questionText>
    <answer number="0" value="0" chosen="1" imageURL="">Water (H2O)</answer>
    <answer number="1" value="0" chosen="0" imageURL="">Powder</answer>
    <answer number="2" value="1" chosen="0" imageURL="">Carbon Dioxide (CO2)</answer>
    <result>Incorrect</result>
  </question>
</quizresult>';

-- Get questions only

DECLARE @questions TABLE (questionText nvarchar(max), result nvarchar(50));
INSERT INTO @questions (questionText, result)
SELECT
    n.q.value('(./questionText)[1]', 'nvarchar(max)') AS questionText,
    n.q.value('(./result)[1]', 'nvarchar(50)') AS result
FROM
    @xml.nodes('/quizresult/question') AS n (q);

-- Get answers only

DECLARE @answers TABLE (answer nvarchar(max), number int, val int, chosen bit);
INSERT INTO @answers (answer, number, val, chosen)
SELECT
    n.q.value('.[1]', 'nvarchar(max)') AS answer,
    n.q.value('@number', 'int') AS number,
    n.q.value('@value', 'int') AS val,
    n.q.value('@chosen', 'bit') AS chosen
FROM
    @xml.nodes('/quizresult/question/answer') AS n (q);

如果可以创建 IDs/GUID（或其他东西）来创建尊重 XML 文件的 parent/child 层次结构，谁能赐教吗？我应该补充一点，实际上这是一个 XML 列，数据将被整体转换。在弄清楚基本方法之前，我只是使用一个变量。

Answer 1

这里唯一的关系是问题文本。因此可以像这样获取此列

DECLARE @answers TABLE (questionText nvarchar(max),answer nvarchar(max), 
number int, val int, chosen bit);

INSERT INTO @answers (questionText, answer, number, val, chosen)
SELECT
n.q.value('(../questionText)[1]', 'nvarchar(max)') as questionText,
n.q.value('.[1]', 'nvarchar(max)') AS answer,
n.q.value('@number', 'int') AS number,
n.q.value('@value', 'int') AS val,
n.q.value('@chosen', 'bit') AS chosen
FROM
@xml.nodes('/quizresult/question/answer') AS n (q);

或者，您可以根据问题文本生成 ID

DECLARE @questions TABLE (Id int, questionText nvarchar(max), result nvarchar(50));

INSERT INTO @questions (id, questionText, result)
SELECT
    Rank() over(order by n.q.value('(./questionText)[1]', 'nvarchar(max)')) as Id,
    n.q.value('(./questionText)[1]', 'nvarchar(max)') AS questionText,
    n.q.value('(./result)[1]', 'nvarchar(50)') AS result
FROM
    @xml.nodes('/quizresult/question') AS n (q);

DECLARE @answers TABLE (Id int, questionText nvarchar(max),answer 
nvarchar(max), number int, val int, chosen bit);

INSERT INTO @answers (Id, questionText, answer, number, val, chosen)
SELECT
   Dense_rank() over(order by n.q.value('(../questionText)[1]', 'nvarchar(max)')) as Id,
   n.q.value('(../questionText)[1]', 'nvarchar(max)') as questionText,
   n.q.value('.[1]', 'nvarchar(max)') AS answer,
   n.q.value('@number', 'int') AS number,
   n.q.value('@value', 'int') AS val,
   n.q.value('@chosen', 'bit') AS chosen
FROM
   @xml.nodes('/quizresult/question/answer') AS n (q);

其他解决方案是如果相同 question/answer 可以重复

DECLARE @questions TABLE (Id int identity(1,1), questionText nvarchar(max), result nvarchar(50), answer xml);
INSERT INTO @questions ( questionText, result, answer)
SELECT
n.q.value('(./questionText)[1]', 'nvarchar(max)') AS questionText,
n.q.value('(./result)[1]', 'nvarchar(50)') AS result,
 n.q.query('answer') AS answer
FROM
@xml.nodes('/quizresult/question') AS n (q);

DECLARE @answers TABLE (Id int, questionText nvarchar(max),answer nvarchar(max), number int, val int, chosen bit);
INSERT INTO @answers (Id, questionText, answer, number, val, chosen)
SELECT
q.Id as Id,
q.questionText as questionText,
n.q.value('.[1]', 'nvarchar(max)') AS answer,
n.q.value('@number', 'int') AS number,
n.q.value('@value', 'int') AS val,
n.q.value('@chosen', 'bit') AS chosen
FROM
@questions q
 outer apply q.answer.nodes('answer') as n(q)

select * from @questions
select * from @answers

Answer 2

我们可以（ab）使用 ROW_NUMBER() 在 XQuery 之外生成 ID。序言：

WITH questions AS (
    SELECT
        ROW_NUMBER() OVER (ORDER BY (SELECT NULL)) AS ID,
        n.q.value('(./questionText)[1]', 'nvarchar(max)') AS questionText,
        n.q.value('(./result)[1]', 'nvarchar(50)') AS result,
        n.q.query('answer') AS answers
    FROM
        @xml.nodes('/quizresult/question') AS n (q)
), questions_and_answers AS (
    SELECT ID, questionText, result, answer.query('.') AS answer
    FROM questions
    CROSS APPLY answers.nodes('answer') AS a(answer)
)

现在用

检索问题

SELECT ID, questionText, result 
FROM questions

答案是

SELECT ID AS questionID,
    q.answer.value('answer[1]', 'nvarchar(max)') AS answer,
    q.answer.value('answer[1]/@number', 'int') AS number,
    q.answer.value('answer[1]/@value', 'int') AS val,
    q.answer.value('answer[1]/@chosen', 'bit') AS chosen
FROM questions_and_answers AS q

Answer 3

通过使用 MERGE 插入您的问题，您可以从源数据和目标数据中捕获字段。因此，您可以访问新插入的问题 ID 和相应的答案，并消除依赖问题文本 link 问题到答案的需要。

您只需要一个映射 table 来存储插入问题后的中间结果。

DECLARE @Mapping TABLE (QuestionID INT NOT NULL, Answers XML);

MERGE @questions AS q
USING
(   SELECT  questionText = q.x.value('questionText[1]', 'NVARCHAR(MAX)'),
            result = q.x.value('result[1]', 'NVARCHAR(MAX)'),
            Answers = q.x.query('answer')
    FROM    @xml.nodes('quizresult/question') q (x)
) AS t
    ON 1 = 0 
WHEN NOT MATCHED THEN 
    INSERT (QuestionText, Result)
    VALUES (t.QuestionText, t.Result)
OUTPUT inserted.QuestionID, t.Answers INTO @Mapping (QuestionID, Answers);

然后存储了中间结果，包括问题 ID，您可以查询映射 table 以插入答案。

-- INSERT ANSWERS USING MAPPING TABLE
INSERT @Answers (QuestionID, Answer, Number, Val, Chosen)
SELECT  m.QuestionID,
        answer = a.x.value('text()[1]', 'NVARCHAR(MAX)'),
        number = a.x.value('@number[1]', 'INT'),
        val = a.x.value('@value[1]', 'INT'),
        chosen = a.x.value('@chosen[1]', 'BIT')
FROM    @Mapping m
        CROSS APPLY Answers.nodes('answer') a (x);
