I've done this programmatically, using a SQL data source. You have to use parameterized queries, though; you cannot embed the data in your command (which is a Bad Idea anyway.) Use a parameter of type lSqlDbType.Xml, set the parameter's Value to your XML, and execute the insert. If you are updating using a file, I think you can load the file into an XDocument object and set that as the parameter's value.

I am not sure how to update an XML column using Sql Manager, though I suspect there is a way to import a file into a variable and pass that as a parameter.
