XQuery [value()]: 'value()' requires a singleton (or empty sequence), found operand of type 'xdt:untypedAtomic *'

Question

I\'m trying to insert rows into a table using a select from XML. I think I\'m close. Where am I going wrong?

declare @xmldata xml;
set @xmldata = \'

        

Answer 1

select
    x.Rec.query('./Upc').value('.','char(11)')
    ,x.Rec.query('./Quantity').value('.','int')
    ,x.Rec.query('./PurchaseDate').value('.','varchar(7)')
    ,x.Rec.query('./PurchaseCity').value('.','varchar(50)')
    ,x.Rec.query('./PurchaseState').value('.','char(2)')
from @xmlData.nodes('/Database/PurchaseDetails/PurchaseDetail') as x(Rec)
