Question

WITH openedXml AS (
  SELECT extractvalue(column_va         


        

Answer 1

Where does that great big chunk of XML come from ? I assume you are not typing it in.

Generally I'd look at a program that reads the source and turns it into a CLOB. That might be a perl/python/whatever script on a client, or it might be a server side routine that pulls the value from a web-server.
