sys.xml_schema_components (Transact-SQL)

Returns a row per component of an XML schema. The pair (collection_id, namespace_id) is a compound foreign key to the containing namespace. For named components, the values for symbol_space, name, scoping_xml_component_id, is_qualified, xml_namespace_id, xml_collection_id are unique.

Column name Data type Description

xml_component_id

int

Unique ID of the XML schema component in the database.

xml_collection_id

int

ID of the XML schema collection that contains the namespace of this component.

xml_namespace_id

int

ID of the XML namespace within the collection.

is_qualified

bit

1 = This component has an explicit namespace qualifier.

0 = This is a locally scoped component. In this case, the pair, namespace_id, collection_id, refers to the "no namespace" targetNamespace.

For wildcard components this value will be equal to 1.

name

nvarchar

(4000)

symbol_space

char(1)

N = None

T = Type

E = Element

M = Model-Group

A = Attribute

G = Attribute-Group

symbol_space_desc

nvarchar

(60)

Description of space in which this symbol name is unique, based on kind:

  • NONE
  • TYPE
  • ELEMENT
  • MODEL_GROUP
  • ATTRIBUTE
  • ATTRIBUTE_GROUP

kind

char(1)

U = Union Type

C = Complex Simple Type (derived from Simple)

K = Complex Type

E = Element

M = Model-Group

W = Element-Wildcard

A = Attribute

G = Attribute-Group

  • ATTRIBUTE
  • ATTRIBUTE_GROUP
  • ATTRIBUTE_WILDCARD

derivation

char(1)

Derivation method for derived types:

N = None (not derived)

X = Extension

R = Restriction

S = Substitution

derivation_desc

nvarchar

(60)

Description of derivation method for derived types:

  • NONE
  • EXTENSION
  • RESTRICTION
  • SUBSTITUTION

base_xml_component_id

int
