Come restituire XML da SQL Server 2008 strutturato con più selezioni che condividono un genitore comune

Prova qualcosa del genere:usa FOR XML PATH e subselects per creare i sottonodi "collegati" per un determinato cliente (L'ho limitato a due sottotabelle - ma dovresti ottenerne l'"essenza" ed essere in grado di estenderlo a qualsiasi numero di sottotabelle collegate ):

SELECT
    CustomerID AS '@CustomerID',
    CustName AS '@Name',

    (SELECT ProductName AS '@productname'
     FROM dbo.Products p
     WHERE p.CustomerID = c.CustomerID  
     FOR XML PATH('Product'), TYPE) AS 'Products',

    (SELECT HobbyName AS '@hobbyname'
     FROM dbo.Hobbies h 
     WHERE h.CUstomerID = c.CustomerID
     FOR XML PATH('Hobby'), TYPE) AS 'Hobbies'
FROM
    dbo.Customers c
FOR XML PATH('Customer'), ROOT('Customers')

Mi dà un output simile a:

<Customers>
  <Customer CustomerID="1" Name="Fred">
    <Products>
      <Product productname="Table" />
      <Product productname="Wardrobe" />
      <Product productname="Chair" />
    </Products>
    <Hobbies>
      <Hobby hobbyname="Golf" />
      <Hobby hobbyname="Swimming" />
    </Hobbies>
  </Customer>
  <Customer CustomerID="2" Name="Sue">
    <Products>
      <Product productname="CD Player" />
      <Product productname="Picture frame" />
    </Products>
    <Hobbies>
      <Hobby hobbyname="Dancing" />
      <Hobby hobbyname="Gardening" />
      <Hobby hobbyname="Reading" />
    </Hobbies>
  </Customer>
</Customers>
