Is there a way to rename the Root Element in SQL Server 2000.
In 2005 we can specify some thing like this ROOT('test')

Thx

Read up on FOR XML EXPLICIT.

In 2000 you can do:


select  1    as tag,
        null as parent,
        null as [RootList!1],
        null as [User!2!ID],
        null as [User!2!UserName],
        ...

which would result in:


<RootList>
  <User ID="1" UserName="yak@yak.com"></User>
</RootList>
