Inserting SOAP formatted message data into a SQL table -- OPENXML

I have a SOAP formatted message. I am passing this message as a string from
a
C# client to a SQL Stored Procedure.
I would like to read this SOAP formatted message and store the data in the
SOAP message in appropriate columns in a SQL table. How can I achieve this?
Can OPENXML be used for this purpose?

ggCould you just store in a nvarchar(max) ?

a stored procedure and use OPENXML to shred it into tables, or you could
create an annotated XSD schema that maps the elements/attributes in your
SOAP message to the tables/column in the database and use the SQLXML Bulk
Load component.
Neither of these approaches requires a SQLXML IIS site.

Is configuring IIS to be used in conjunction with SQLXML a requirement for
the question I am asking?
My eventual goal is to insert the data present in the SOAP message into a
SQL table.
Please let me know how I can achieve this goal.

Inserting SOAP formatted message data into a SQL table -- OPEN

I have displaying my SOAP message below. Could you show me what T-SQL
statement using OPENXML or otherwise I can use to import the data in this
SOAP message into various columns in a SQL table.
My SQL table has the following columns:
LogEntry varchar(255)
Message varchar(255)
Title varchar(255)
Category varchar(50)
Priority int
EventID int
Severity varchar(255)
MachineName varchar(50)
TimeStampVal datetime
ErrorMessages varchar(255)
ExtendedProperties varchar(255)
AppDomainName varchar(50)
ProcessID int
ProcessName varchar(255)
ThreadName varchar(50)

>Here's one way (I wasn't sure what you want in the LogEntry column, since
that's an XML element that contains all the others - so I used the id
attribute). This example uses a temporary table with the columns you
specified and I've hardcoded the SOAP message as a variable - in reality
you'd pass it to a stored procedure as a parameter. I suggest you take some
time to examine the documentation on OPENXML in Books Online to tweak this
to do exactly what you want it to.
