What is the best way to shred XML data into various database columns? So far I have mainly been using the nodes and value functions like so:
INSERT INTO some_table (column1, column2, column3)
SELECT
Rows.n.value('(@column1)[1]', 'varchar(20)'),
Rows.n.value('(@column2)[1]', 'nvarchar(100)'),
Rows.n.value('(@column3)[1]', 'int'),
FROM @xml.nodes('//Rows') Rows(n)
However I find that this is getting very slow for even moderate size xml data.
