SQL Server Return null in xml column where condition

SQL Server Return null in xml column where condition

To return NULL values in an XML column based on a condition in SQL Server, you can use a CASE statement within a SELECT query. Here's an example:

Suppose you have a table named YourTable with an XML column named XmlColumn, and you want to return NULL for rows where a specific condition is met.

SELECT CASE WHEN YourCondition = 'YourValue' THEN NULL ELSE XmlColumn END AS XmlColumn FROM YourTable;

In this query:

  • YourCondition is the condition you want to check.
  • 'YourValue' is the value you are comparing against.
  • If YourCondition equals 'YourValue', the query returns NULL for the XmlColumn; otherwise, it returns the original value of XmlColumn.

Adjust YourCondition and 'YourValue' according to your specific condition. This approach allows you to conditionally return NULL values in the XML column based on any criteria you define.
