Hi,

I want to insert a query generated XML resultset into a target table which has a column of datatype "XML". Please find the query as below:

insert into [dbo].[SAMPLEXML]
Select [EMPNO],[EmpFirst],[EmpSurname]
from [dbo].[GW_MPOLA]
FOR XML RAW ('Employee'), Root ('Emloyees'),elements

This query is throwing the following error as below :

Msg 6819, Level 16, State 1, Line 8
The FOR XML clause is not allowed in a INSERT statement.

Kindly help and suggest a possible solution

Select [EMPNO],[EmpFirst],[EmpSurname]
from [dbo].[GW_MPOLA]
FOR XML RAW ('Employee'), Root ('Emloyees'),elements)
