Applies to: SQL Server

Returns a row per component of an XML schema. The pair (collection_id, namespace_id) is a compound foreign key to the containing namespace. For named components, the values for symbol_space, name, scoping_xml_component_id, is_qualified, xml_namespace_id, xml_collection_id are unique.

Column name Data type Description
xml_component_id int Unique ID of the XML schema component in the database.
xml_collection_id int ID of the XML schema collection that contains the namespace of this component.
xml_namespace_id int ID of the XML namespace within the collection.
is_qualified bit 1 = This component has an explicit namespace qualifier.

0 = This is a locally scoped component. In this case, the pair, namespace_id, collection_id, refers to the "no namespace" targetNamespace.

For wildcard components this value will be equal to 1.
