I use the following query to shred an xml and insert it into a table, but I want to have the whole html structure into the column to be able to present the formatted text in Cognos 8 BI.

WITH xmlnamespaces('http://schemas.microsoft.com/office/infopath/2003/myXSD/2007-01-15T13:29:33' AS my)
INSERT INTO TMP_ATGFORSLAG (AtgForslagDesc)
SELECT
AtgForslagRad.value('(/my:AtgForslagRad/my:AtgForslagDesc)[1]', 'varchar(2000)') AS AtgForslagDesc
FROM dbo.DeklAtgForslagXml

The structure of the source in the xmlfile I want to import is:
<my:AtgForslagDesc>
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">
<ol>
<li>Text1...</li>
<li>Text2...</li>
<li>Text3...</li>
</ol>
</html>
</my:AtgForslagDesc>

How do I shred not only the text but the whole starting <html> to finishing </html> and insert it into a table I would be very happy.

Solved it myself, used query() function.
