SQL Server XML Query – How to Query XML Data

The fastest way to get things in is via SQLLoader, also for XML. The following will show you a method based on bfilename, which should be able to load XML files into the database in around a minute or 2 per file.

You got some repeating elements in that file, so if you want to be able to query it efficient you should created specific, based on (x)path setting xmlindexes.

Give something like the below a try...

You'll obviously need to plug in your variables for your environment, check the data types (may need to add logic to keep leading zeros?), change from the final temp tables to your regular table(s), etc.

Works fine for me for import from XML files to temp tables without deleting the files afterwards but adding logic to delete files from the UNC path shouldn't be too difficult with another xp_cmdshell command.

DECLARE @folder AS VARCHAR(1000) = '\\servername\sharename\folder\subfolder1\'
DECLARE @command VARCHAR(500) = 'DIR /B "' + @folder + '*.xml"'
DECLARE @file VARCHAR(100)
DECLARE @filesinafolder TABLE (filenameswithfolder VARCHAR(500))
DECLARE @sql NVARCHAR(4000)

-- create global temp table
IF OBJECT_ID('tempdb..##XMLImport') IS NOT NULL
    DROP TABLE ##XMLImport

CREATE TABLE ##XMLImport (
    R00000010 VARCHAR(7)
    ,R00000020 VARCHAR(1)

    )

INSERT INTO @filesinafolder
