Hi,
I am trying to insert data to a table from an XML file however i get an error in SSMS:

DECLARE @xmlDoc XML
SET @xmlDoc =(
SELECT * FROM OPENROWSET (
	BULK 'D:\Studier\MCTS\ML326C - XML i Relationsdatabaser\Projektfiler\faktura_1.xml', SINGLE_BLOB
	) AS xmlData
	)
	
	SELECT @xmlDoc -- FROM 
	
	
	SELECT 
	@xmlDoc.query('/FAKTURA/FÖRETAG/ORGNR'),
	@xmlDoc.query('/FAKTURA/KÖPARE/FÖRETAGSNAMN')
	(SELECT anst_id FROM HR.Anställd
		WHERE @xmlDoc.query('/FAKTURA/KÖPARE/BESTÄLLARE') = fornamn)

The error message is:

Msg 402, Level 16, State 1, Line 18
The data types xml and varchar are incompatible in the equal to operator.

I first thought it was because it was a char(20) column but this gives the same error:

	SELECT 
	@xmlDoc.query('/FAKTURA/FÖRETAG/ORGNR'),
	@xmlDoc.query('/FAKTURA/KÖPARE/FÖRETAGSNAMN')
	(SELECT anst_id FROM HR.Anställd
		WHERE @xmlDoc.query('/FAKTURA/KÖPARE/BESTÄLLARE') = 'word')

Can anyone assist me with this?

Best regards,
KFluffie
