    <p>I have some XML which I need to insert into two database tables. The second table (<code>TblSales</code>) must contain the PK of the first (<code>TblDetails.Id</code>). </p> <p>I can insert the data into these tables using XQuery, but I cannot think of a good way to get the PK of <code>TblDetails</code> into FK (<code>DetailsId</code>) of <code>TblSales</code>?</p> <p>I am using SQL Server 2005.</p> <pre><code>DECLARE @xml XML SET @xml = N'&lt;Details&gt; &lt;Detail&gt; &lt;Sub&gt;SubjectName 1&lt;/Sub&gt; &lt;Data&gt;DataName 1&lt;/Data&gt; &lt;Sales&gt; &lt;Sale&gt; &lt;Name&gt;Name 1&lt;/Name&gt; &lt;/Sale&gt; &lt;Sale&gt; &lt;Name&gt;Name 11&lt;/Name&gt; &lt;/Sale&gt; &lt;Sale&gt; &lt;Name&gt;Name 111&lt;/Name&gt; &lt;/Sale&gt; &lt;/Sales&gt; &lt;/Detail&gt; &lt;Detail&gt; &lt;Sub&gt;SubjectName 2&lt;/Sub&gt; &lt;Data&gt;DataName 2&lt;/Data&gt; &lt;Sales&gt; &lt;Sale&gt; &lt;Name&gt;Name 2&lt;/Name&gt; &lt;/Sale&gt; &lt;Sale&gt; &lt;Name&gt;Name 22&lt;/Name&gt; &lt;/Sale&gt; &lt;Sale&gt; &lt;Name&gt;Name 222&lt;/Name&gt; &lt;/Sale&gt; &lt;/Sales&gt; &lt;/Detail&gt; &lt;/Details&gt;' -- Details IF object_id('TblDetails') is not null drop table TblDetails create table TblDetails ( Id int identity not null primary key, Sub nvarchar(max), Data nvarchar(max)) INSERT INTO TblDetails ( Sub, Data ) SELECT ParamValues.Detail.value('(Sub)[1]','NVARCHAR(MAX)') AS [Sub], ParamValues.Detail.value('(Data)[1]','NVARCHAR(MAX)') AS [Data] FROM @xml.nodes('/Details/Detail') AS ParamValues(Detail) -- Sales IF object_id('TblSales') is not null drop table TblSales create table TblSales ( Id int identity not null primary key, Name nvarchar(max), DetailsId int) -- FK to TblDetails.Id PK INSERT INTO TblSales ( Name, DetailsId ) SELECT ParamValues.Sale.value('(Name)[1]','NVARCHAR(MAX)') AS [Name], 1 --Need to get the PK of the newly added row in TblDetails FROM @xml.nodes('/Details/Detail/Sales/Sale') AS ParamValues(Sale) select * from TblDetails select * from TblSales </code></pre>

Guidance
A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
