I have the following FOR XML EXPLICIT statement:

1 as Tag, null as Parent,
[StageID] as [Stage!1!StageID],
[Stage] as [Stage!1!Stage],
[Update] as [Stage!1!Update]
FROM Stage
FOR XML EXPLICIT

Which gives me results in the form:
<Stage StageID="1" Stage="Stage1" Update="True"/><Stage ......../>

However I want the results in the form:
<Stages><Stage StageID="1" Stage="Stage1" Update="True"/><Stage ......../></Stages>

i.e. with the extra "<Stages></Stages>" at the beginning and end of the xml. Im not sure if this is even possible?

Any help in this matter would be much appreciated.

Torch.

Try this:
SELECT
	1 AS Tag, 
	NULL AS Parent, 
	NULL AS [Stage!1!StageID],
	NULL AS [Stage!1!Stage],
	NULL AS [Stage!1!Update]
UNION 
SELECT
	2 as Tag, 
	1 as Parent,
	[StageID] as [Stage!2!StageID],
	[Stage] as [Stage!2!Stage],
	[Update] as [Stage!2!Update]
FROM Stage
FOR XML EXPLICIT

Hi Mark,

So where have you specified the <stages> tag?

Sorry, that lost something in translation from my data to Torch's data (and ended up as complete nonsense!) Kristen is absolutely right, it was meant to be:

SELECT 
	1 AS tag, 
	NULL AS parent, 
	NULL AS [Stages!1], 
	NULL AS [Stage!2!StageID],
	NULL AS [Stage!2!Stage],
	NULL AS [Stage!2!Update]

UNION 
SELECT
	2 AS tag, 
	1 AS parent,
	NULL AS [Stages!1], 
	s.[StageID] AS [Stage!2!StageID],
	s.[Stage] AS [Stage!2!Stage],
	s.[Update] AS [Stage!2!Update]
FROM 
	Stages AS s

FOR XML EXPLICIT
