I think all of these character set / UTF8 / shortened file path

must be escaped in XML, and ampersand is one of them. I believe you
just need to unescape them.

Hi Dave,
I am no pro at SQL, (just started 3 weeks ago with MS SQL Server),
but it looks to me that your values are using quotation marks instead
of apostrophes. Try something simple like the following:

I've been using various versions of SQL (Postgres, mySQL, Oracle, etc)
for several years now and the only character I've ever been able to use
to delimit strings is the apostrophe. As Jan recommended, try that
first and you'll probably see most of your problems go away. BTW:

Looking at your query, I'd say the following string is
the culprit:

this is the string I pass in:
