Hi everyone,
I've hacked together a few lines of perl and Inline C in order to bind
variables of type XMLType to placeholders. I can currently insert XML
data of less than 32k into an XMLType table or column, but I considered
integrating the code into DBD::Oracle, so that it would be available to
everyone.
I'm still busy figuring out how to do that, but this raises some design
questions as well:
In contrast to BLOB/CLOB etc. XMLType is a named type (SQLT_NTY), not a
primitive Oracle Type. So how should you specify the type name
("SYS.XMLTYPE"), or should I rather invent a new SQLT_XMLTYPE?
Do other databases have XMLType-like concepts, or does this just apply
to Oracle?
Anyone wants to participate?
