예: EXPLICIT 모드를 사용하여 형제 생성
판매 주문 정보를 제공하는 XML을 생성한다고 가정해 보십시오. <SalesPerson> 및 <OrderDetail> 요소는 형제입니다. 각 Order에는 <OrderHeader> 요소 및 <SalesPerson> 요소가 하나씩 있고 하나 이상의 <OrderDetail> 요소가 있습니다.
<OrderHeader SalesOrderID=... OrderDate=... CustomerID=... >
<SalesPerson SalesPersonID=... />
<OrderDetail SalesOrderID=... LineTotal=... ProductID=... OrderQty=... />
<OrderDetail SalesOrderID=... LineTotal=... ProductID=... OrderQty=.../>
...
</OrderHeader>
<OrderHeader ...</OrderHeader>
다음 EXPLICIT 모드 쿼리는 이 XML을 생성합니다. 이 쿼리는 <OrderHeader> 요소, <SalesPerson> 요소 및 <OrderDetail> 요소에 대해 Tag 값을 각각 1, 2 및 3으로 지정합니다. <SalesPerson>과 <OrderDetail>은 형제이기 때문에 이 쿼리는 같은 Parent 태그 값으로 1을 지정하여 <OrderHeader> 요소를 식별합니다.
SELECT 1 as Tag,
0 as Parent,
SalesOrderID as [OrderHeader!1!SalesOrderID],
OrderDate as [OrderHeader!1!OrderDate],
CustomerID as [OrderHeader!1!CustomerID],
NULL as [SalesPerson!2!SalesPersonID],
NULL as [OrderDetail!3!SalesOrderID],
NULL as [OrderDetail!3!LineTotal],
NULL as [OrderDetail!3!ProductID],
NULL as [OrderDetail!3!OrderQty]
FROM Sales.SalesOrderHeader
WHERE SalesOrderID=43659 or SalesOrderID=43661
UNION ALL
SELECT 2 as Tag,
1 as Parent,
SalesOrderID,

FROM Sales.SalesOrderHeader SOH,Sales.SalesOrderDetail SOD
WHERE SOH.SalesOrderID = SOD.SalesOrderID
AND (SOH.SalesOrderID=43659 or SOH.SalesOrderID=43661)
ORDER BY [OrderHeader!1!SalesOrderID], [SalesPerson!2!SalesPersonID],
[OrderDetail!3!SalesOrderID],[OrderDetail!3!LineTotal]
