    <p>I have this variable:</p> <pre><code>declare @xmlDoc XML </code></pre> <p>it has the following xml stored in it:</p> <pre><code>&lt;?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?&gt; &lt;NewDataSet&gt; &lt;Table1&gt; &lt;Sharedparam&gt;shared&lt;/Sharedparam&gt; &lt;Antoher&gt;sahre&lt;/Antoher&gt; &lt;RandomParam2&gt;Good stuff&lt;/RandomParam2&gt; &lt;MoreParam&gt;and more&lt;/MoreParam&gt; &lt;ResultsParam&gt;2&lt;/ResultsParam&gt; &lt;/Table1&gt; &lt;Table1&gt; &lt;RandomParam2&gt;do you&lt;/RandomParam2&gt; &lt;MoreParam&gt;think&lt;/MoreParam&gt; &lt;ResultsParam&gt;2&lt;/ResultsParam&gt; &lt;/Table1&gt; &lt;Table1&gt; &lt;Sharedparam&gt;Last&lt;/Sharedparam&gt; &lt;Antoher&gt; Set &lt;/Antoher&gt; &lt;RandomParam2&gt; of &lt;/RandomParam2&gt; &lt;MoreParam&gt;values&lt;/MoreParam&gt; &lt;ResultsParam&gt;are here&lt;/ResultsParam&gt; &lt;/Table1&gt; &lt;Table1 /&gt; &lt;/NewDataSet&gt; </code></pre> <p>I have this query that I am using to get the data:</p> <pre><code>declare @xmlDoc XML set @xmlDoc = '' -- Stack Overflow could not handle the xml all on one line. SELECT -- Param 1 TBL.SParam.value('local-name((*)[1])', 'varchar(50)') as Param1Name, TBL.SParam.value('(*)[1]', 'varchar(100)') as Param1Value, -- Param2 TBL.SParam.value('local-name((*)[2])', 'varchar(50)') as Param2Name, TBL.SParam.value('(*)[2]', 'varchar(100)') as Param2Value, -- Param3 TBL.SParam.value('local-name((*)[3])', 'varchar(50)') as Param3Name, TBL.SParam.value('(*)[3]', 'varchar(100)') as Param3Value, -- Param 4 TBL.SParam.value('local-name((*)[4])', 'varchar(50)') as Param4Name, TBL.SParam.value('(*)[4]', 'varchar(100)') as Param4Value, -- Param 5 TBL.SParam.value('local-name((*)[5])', 'varchar(50)') as Param5Name, TBL.SParam.value('(*)[5]', 'varchar(100)') as Param5Value FROM @xmldoc.nodes('/NewDataSet/Table1') AS TBL(SParam) </code></pre> <p>I need a way to add to my results the order that they came from the xml file. (Which was the first instance of Table1, then the second....).</p> <p>For reasons of <a href="https://stackoverflow.com/questions/6471210/is-there-anyway-to-reset-the-identity-of-a-table-variable">SQL table variable limitations</a>, I can't use an identity column to keep this straight. (For other reasons, I don't want to use a temporary table.) </p> <p>I am hoping that there is a cool SQL XML function that will return some kind of internally assigned Node ID. (Or some other similar manner of ordering.)</p> <p>Note, I do not control this XML Structure (I am a reader only) so I cannot make changes to add in an ID attribute.</p> <p>Any advice would be great!</p> <p><strong>EDIT/Update:</strong></p> <p>I would really like to have this data like this:</p> <pre> 1 | SharedParam | shared 1 | Antoher | sahre 1 | RandomParam2 | Good stuff 1 | MoreParam | and more 1 | ResultsParam | and more 2 | RandomParam2 | do you 2 | MoreParam | think 2 | ResultsParam | 2 3 | Sharedparam | Last 3 | Antoher | Set . . . </pre> <p>But I am coming up short. I can get it into columns (more or less), but I don't know how to do the numbering. If you have any ideas I would love to hear them.</p> <p><strong>EDIT:</strong><br> I figured out the query to do this (with some help from the internet). It looks like this:</p> <pre><code>SELECT TBL.SParam.value('local-name(.)[1]', 'varchar(50)') as ParamName, TBL.SParam.value('(.)[1]', 'varchar(50)') ParamValue, TBL.SParam.value('for $s in . return count(../*[. &lt;&lt; $s]) + 1', 'int') ParamPosition, TBL.SParam.value('for $s in . return count(../../*[. &lt;&lt; $s]) - 1', 'int') ParamIteration FROM @xmldoc.nodes('/NewDataSet/Table1/*') AS TBL(SParam) </code></pre>

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.

If you are curious you may find further information in the browser console, which is accessible through the devtools (F12).
