This is an example using the stored procedure sp_xml_preparedocument and
the rowset provider OPENXML:
DECLARE @.x xml;
SET @.x = '<row>
<a>1</a>
<b>2</b>
<c>3</c>
<d>4</d>
</row>';
DECLARE @.iDoc int;
EXEC sp_xml_preparedocument @.iDoc OUTPUT, @.x;
SELECT *
FROM OPENXML(@.iDoc, '/row', 2)
WITH (a int, b int, c int, d int);
EXEC sp_xml_removedocument @.iDoc;
Another approach is to use the XQuery nodes function as follows:
DECLARE @.x xml;
SET @.x = '<row>
<a>1</a>
<b>2</b>
<c>3</c>
<d>4</d>
</row>';
SELECT T.col.value('a[1]', 'int') AS a,
T.col.value('b[1]', 'int') AS b,
T.col.value('c[1]', 'int') AS c,
T.col.value('d[1]', 'int') AS d
FROM @.x.nodes('/row') AS T(col);

dynamic, it is hard apply this method.

That is true, I am not sure how to solve that case.

The first is XML should conform to a fixed schema, and secondly,
you're trying to push data into a fixed table.
