I have a table with a column called data. In that column is a value like:
<settings><myVarOne>valueOne</myVarOne><myVarTwo>valueTwo</myVarTwo></settings>

All I'd like to do, is update all the myVarOne values. So the new value for data would be:
<settings><myVarOne>newValueHere</myVarOne><myVarTwo>valueTwo</myVarTwo></settings>

This will likely be SQL2000 not SQL2005 but it would be useful to know for both.

I've looked at OPENXML but all the examples seem keen on using sp_xml_preparedocument and then OPENXML needs the @idoc so I'm thinking there is something else.

If someone can point me in the right direction that would be extremely helpful as I haven't found anything that makes sense to me. UpdateGrams seems very overblown for manipulation like this when OPENXML is sooo very close to being correct.

Thanks!
Chad

Replying to myself ... does anyone have any direction they can give me? I've kept trying but haven't got anywhere.

Thanks
