Re: Extracting XML attributes

It's unclear what part of the XML you want. MySQL 5.1 has a XML-parsing function called ExtractValue(). It takes a column that contains XML, and an XPath expression. For example:
SELECT ExtractValue(xml_column, '//LineItems/LineItem[1]/@ItemNumber') 
FROM ...

Returns the string "1", which is the value of the ItemNumber attribute for LineItem 1.
