Xml data type is not supported in distributed queries

we can use OPENQUERY to call the table that has XML data type.

decalre @string nvarchar(4000), @StartDate datetime, @EndDate datetime
set @StartDate = dateadd(dd,-30,getutcdate())
set @EndDate = dateadd(dd,0,getutcdate())

set @string = '
select * from
OPENQUERY([lasqlstage101.sparkstage.com],''
SELECT
OrderID,
Cast(OrderAttributeXML as Varchar(1000)) as OrderAttributeXML,
Insertdate
FROM

WHERE
insertdate >= '''''+convert(nvarchar(10),@StartDate,101)+' '+convert(nvarchar(10),@StartDate,108)+''''' and insertdate < '''''+convert(nvarchar(10),@EndDate,101)+' '+convert(nvarchar(10),@EndDate,108)+''''' ''
