In my solution I ned the xml output with including the XML header thet
specifies the encoding.
Here's the code:
CREATE XML SCHEMA COLLECTION MyNote AS
N'<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<xs:schema xmlns:xs="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema"
targetNamespace="http://www.w3schools.com" xmlns="http://
www.w3schools.com" elementFormDefault="qualified">
<xs:element name="note">
<xs:complexType>
<xs:sequence>
<xs:element name="to" type="xs:string"/>
<xs:element name="from" type="xs:string"/>
<xs:element name="heading" type="xs:string"/>
<xs:element name="body" type="xs:string"/>
</xs:sequence>
</xs:complexType>
</xs:element>
<xs:element name="HedingType" type="xs:string"/>
</xs:schema>'
GO
then input a valid xml
DECLARE @.x xml (dbo.MyNote)
SET @.x=N'<note xmlns="http://www.w3schools.com">
<to>Tove</to>
<from>Jani</from>
<heading>Reminder</heading>
<body>Don't forget me this w
end!</body></note>'
select @.x
Here's the output:
<note xmlns="http://www.w3schools.com">
<to>Tove</to>
<from>Jani</from>
<heading>Reminder</heading>
<body>Don't forget me this w
end!</body></note>
I need the XML header that specify the encoding of the document, like
this:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<note xmlns="http://www.w3schools.com">
<to>Tove</to>
<from>Jani</from>
<heading>Reminder</heading>
<body>Don't forget me this w
end!</body></note>
Any ideas?
Thanks in advance!
JohnWell the heading is optional for UTF-8 documents. The heading's only useful
for serialised documents, how are you using the output?

I am using the query window in MS SQL Server Management Studio .|||John,
The processing instruction specifies the encoding when the XML is stored as
text. When you store an instance in an XML datatype, it is not stored as tex
t
but in binary XML format. Therefore, what's the point of specifying an XML
encoding? It would have no meaning.
In your case, I would suggest you convert your XML instance to a string type
and
add the processing instruction trhough string manipulation. You can do somet
hing
like this
DECLARE @.x xml (dbo.MyNote)
DECLARE @.strXML varchar(MAX)
SET @.x=N'<note xmlns="http://www.w3schools.com">
<to>Tove</to>
<from>Jani</from>
<heading>Reminder</heading>
<body>Don't forget me this w
end!</body></note>'
set @.strXML = '<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>' + CONVERT(varchar(MAX
),
@.x)
SELECT @.strXML
While we're talking about encoding of XML documents I've also noticed someth
ing
strange in your example. When you create your schema collection you do this
CREATE XML SCHEMA COLLECTION MyNote AS
N'<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
....
'
go
The string literal is unicode (because of the 'N' character that preceeds it
)
but yet you specify the encoding as UTF-8 in your processing instruction. Th
e
DDL as you've written it should fail with the following error: "XML parsing:
line 1, character 38, unable to switch the encoding"

>|||In addition to Denis' post: You cannot get UTF-8 encoded XML data produced.
SQL Server produces UTF-16 encoded XML when you cast it to
NVARCHAR/VARBINARY, or the encoding of the code page if you cast to
VARCHAR(not recommended).
Since the NVARCHAR/VARCHAR carries the encoding on the type, we do not add
an XML declaration with an encoding, so that if you cast your string to a
different collation, the encoding does get adjusted automatically.
Now if you cast it to VARBINARY we will add the UTF-16 BOM.
If you want to produce UTF-8 encoded XML or have the XML declaration added,
you probably should use the System.XML or MSXML components on the
client/midtier side.
