declare @XMLVar xml = " 
<catalog> 
<book category="ITPro"> 
<title>Windows Step By Step</title> 
<author>Bill Zack</author> 
<price>49.99</price> 
</book>

</book> 
</catalog>" 
1. xml.exist 
select @XMLVar.exist("/catalog/book")-----返回1 
select @XMLVar.exist("/catalog/book/@category")-----返回1 
select @XMLVar.exist("/catalog/book1")-----返回0 
set @XMLVar = null 
select @XMLVar.exist("/catalog/book")-----返回null 
2.xml.value 
select @XMLVar.value("/catalog[1]/book[1]","varchar(MAX)") 
select @XMLVar.value("/catalog[1]/book[2]/@category","varchar(MAX)") 
select @XMLVar.value("/catalog[2]/book[1]","varchar(MAX)") 
结果集为: 
Windows Step By StepBill Zack49.99 Developer NULL 
3.xml.query 
select @XMLVar.query("/catalog[1]/book") 
select @XMLVar.query("/catalog[1]/book[1]") 
select @XMLVar.query("/catalog[1]/book[2]/author") 
结果集分别为: 
<book category="ITPro">

4.xml.nodes 
select T.c.query(".") as result from @XMLVar.nodes("/catalog/book") as T(c) 
select T.c.query("title") as result from @XMLVar.nodes("/catalog/book") as T(c) 
结果集分别为:
