xmlparse parses an XML document and returns a representation of it as an image value containing the parsed document and its internal index. This representation is called a Unicode parsed image XML. Unicode parsed image XML is stored in columns of image.
xmlparse converts string datatypes to Unicode. Since string datatypes are in the server character set, which is always a subset of Unicode, conversion is a change in datatype that never raises a conversion exception.
For details of XML sort ordering, see “Sort ordering in XML Services”.
xmlparse uses the sort ordering specified by the sp_configure option default xml sort order, and the same ordering for XML indexes. XML stores the sort ordering name in the image generated by xmlparse, called the parsed XML sort order of the document.
All functions that reference a parsed XML document raise an exception when the parsed XML sort order is different from the current default XML sort order.
