[sql] How can I query a value in SQL Server XML column

You could do the following

declare @role varchar(100) = 'Alpha'
select * from xmltable where convert(varchar(max),xmlfield) like '%<role>'+@role+'</role>%'

Obviously this is a bit of a hack and I wouldn't recommend it for any formal solutions. However I find this technique very useful when doing adhoc queries on XML columns in SQL Server Management Studio for SQL Server 2012.
