Process to load XML file into Variant Column in Snowflake

Derek2 — Sat, 16 Nov 2024 00:49:03 GMT

Looking for some assistance to design a process that loads a complete xml file into a variant column in Snowflake. The xml file exists in Azure Blob storage. Would also need to retrieve a few high level elements from the xml to put into the table along with the complete xml.

The target table would look something like this:

ProcessDatetime DATETIME - The Date the file was loaded into the table

ID1 INT - A unique ID value from the below the root node of the xml

TransactionType VARCHAR(100) - A character value from the root node of the xml that represent the transaction code

ID2 INT - Another unique ID value from the below the root node of the xml

Content VARIANT - Field for whole xml file.

It seems that I could use a bulk insert to load the file but not sure the best approach to parse file elements and load the file. Any assistance would be appreciated.

Hello,

Please try to insert an entire XML into Snowflake via tDBRow component and the sql is this with Prepared Statement :

"INSERT INTO <tablename> SELECT ?, PARSE_XML"

Best regards
