Maybe someone can help. Here’s the XML that I need a schema for:

e4933d5d-7452-4fad-b557-125d700da000

Here is my original XSD SCHEMA that successfully ‘compiled’ into a XML SCHEMA:

CREATE XML SCHEMA COLLECTION [dbo].[GUIDSchema]
AS
N’

‘
GO

Here is the function that makes use of the schema:
ALTER FUNCTION [dbo].[fnGUID_from_XML] ( @inputXML XML )
RETURNS uniqueidentifier
AS
BEGIN
DECLARE @ValidateXML as XML(GUIDSchema)
SET @ValidateXML = @inputXML

DECLARE @GUID as uniqueidentifier
DECLARE @PL_FILE TABLE (TempGUID uniqueidentifier )

INSERT INTO @PL_FILE (TempGUID)
SELECT ParamValues.Items.value(‘GUID[1]‘,’uniqueidentifier’)
FROM @ValidateXML.nodes(‘/NODE’) as ParamValues(Items)

select @GUID = TempGUID from @PL_FILE
RETURN @GUID
END

However, when I try to compile the above function, I get this error:
Msg 9314, Level 16, State 1, Procedure fnGUID_from_XML, Line 18
XQuery [value()]: Cannot implicitly atomize or apply ‘fn:data()’ to complex content elements, found type ‘xs:anyType’ within inferred type ‘element(GUID,xs:anyType) ?’.

I have tried removing the various tags from the schema, but can never compile the schema again. The only code that creates a successful schema compilation is what I’ve provided here.

Thanks in advance,
Jerry

Any thoughts on this.

Thank you
