TSQL XML Convert node value to int

Question

I have XML in TSQL,

Declare @xml XML = '<soap:Envelope xmlns:q1="urn:customization_2015_2.setup.webservices.netsuite.com" xmlns:urn1="urn:core_2015_2.platform.webservices.netsuite.com" xmlns:urn="urn:messages_2015_2.platform.webservices.netsuite.com" xmlns:xsd="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xmlns:soap="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/">
    <soap:Body xmlns:q1="urn:customization_2015_2.setup.webservices.netsuite.com" xmlns:urn1="urn:core_2015_2.platform.webservices.netsuite.com" xmlns:urn="urn:messages_2015_2.platform.webservices.netsuite.com" xmlns:xsd="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xmlns:soap="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/">
        <upsertList>
            <q1:record xmlns:q1="urn:customization_2015_2.setup.webservices.netsuite.com"  xsi:type="q1:CustomRecord" externalId="F95C35CF-950E-4756-8C33-43CA0C47FF45">
                <q1:recType internalId="12" type="customRecord"/>
                <q1:customFieldList xmlns="urn:core_2015_2.platform.webservices.netsuite.com">
                    <customField scriptId="custrecord_sps_content_package" xsi:type="SelectCustomFieldRef">
                        <value internalId="25"/>
                    </customField>
                    <customField scriptId="custrecord_sps_content_item" xsi:type="SelectCustomFieldRef">
                        <value internalId="1849"/>
                    </customField>
                    <customField scriptId="custrecord_sps_content_qty" xsi:type="LongCustomFieldRef">
                        <value>6.00</value>
                    </customField>
                </q1:customFieldList>
            </q1:record>
            <q1:record  xmlns:q1="urn:customization_2015_2.setup.webservices.netsuite.com"  externalId="D596F4DB-D7FE-409A-9D40-916FF88FB188">
                <q1:recType internalId="12" type="customRecord"/>
                <q1:customFieldList xmlns="urn:core_2015_2.platform.webservices.netsuite.com">
                    <customField scriptId="custrecord_sps_content_package" xsi:type="SelectCustomFieldRef">
                        <value internalId="24"/>
                    </customField>
                    <customField scriptId="custrecord_sps_content_item" xsi:type="SelectCustomFieldRef">
                        <value internalId="1902"/>
                    </customField>
                    <customField scriptId="custrecord_sps_content_qty" xsi:type="LongCustomFieldRef">
                        <value>2.00</value>
                    </customField>
                </q1:customFieldList>
            </q1:record>
        </upsertList>
    </soap:Body>
</soap:Envelope>'

Now, I want to find customField has attribute => xsi:type="LongCustomFieldRef" then update Value to Integer. Mean I want to have Integer: 6 instead of 6.00

<customField scriptId="custrecord_sps_content_qty" xsi:type="LongCustomFieldRef">
                        <value>6</value>
                    </customField>

I do not know, why you need this. A number with a .00 will be casteable to an int without any troubles. If this is primarly cosmetic, I'd not touch this... If you need this (might be due to a very strict schema check), you can walk this road, but it's not trivial:

As you probably know, XML's .modify() can update only one value per call. This is quite limitating.

If your structure is always the same, you might use a CTE to shredd this into pieces and re-construct the XML from scratch. But this would lead into new troubles with your namespaces assumably.

You can try this:

--Your Xml

DECLARE @xml XML = '<soap:Envelope xmlns:q1="urn:customization_2015_2.setup.webservices.netsuite.com"

Thanks Shnugo. The problem cause because, in DB to build XML is decimal (18,2) in quantity, but, server not accept .00, it must be integer. — Cristen Rafalko, Apr 10 '18 at 02:10
@CristenRafalko Wouldn't it be easier to construct the XML with a `CAST SomeDecValue AS INT`? — Shnugo, Apr 10 '18 at 08:11
