Convert XML column to Table Data in MS SQL Query.

If your XML column is stored as type XML, then you can use an XPath query to get each column. Like this:

SELECT TheKey, 
    TheData.value('(/Group1/Title/Name)[1]', 'varchar(100)') AS Name,
    TheData.value('(/Group1/Title/Phone)[1]', 'varchar(100)') AS Phone,
    TheData.value('(/Group1/Title/Email)[1]', 'varchar(250)') AS Email,
    TheData.value('(/Group1/Title/State)[1]', 'varchar(100)') AS [State]
FROM MyTable

If the column MyData is varchar instead of XML, then you can cast it during the query. Like this:

SELECT TheKey, 
    Cast(TheData AS XML).value('(/Group1/Title/Name)[1]', 'varchar(100)') AS Name,
    Cast(TheData AS XML).value('(/Group1/Title/Phone)[1]', 'varchar(100)') AS Phone,
    Cast(TheData AS XML).value('(/Group1/Title/Email)[1]', 'varchar(250)') AS Email,
    Cast(TheData AS XML).value('(/Group1/Title/State)[1]', 'varchar(100)') AS [State]
FROM MyTable
