SQL Server支持xml数据类型。 使用 SqlCommand 类检索包含此类型的结果集。 可以像其他列一样通过 SqlDataReader 检索 xml 列。 若要以 XML 形式处理其内容，请使用 XmlReader。
示例：
以下控制台应用程序从 AdventureWorks 数据库中的 Sales.Store 选择两行，每行都有一个 xml 列。 对于每一行，代码调用 GetSqlXml 并使用 CreateReader() 创建 XmlReader。 若要将该值保留为 SqlXml，请直接使用 GetSqlXml 返回的值。
GetValue 方法将 xml 列值作为字符串返回。
注释
AdventureWorks安装 SQL Server 时，默认不会安装示例数据库。 可以通过运行 SQL Server 安装程序来安装它。
