Are you talking about supporting XML as a new logical data type? Or just getting the FDO provider to interpret XML columns as string properties?
Supporting a new logical data type in FDO has ramifications in API design. - If FDO were to support and recognise XML data types, how does one work with such types through FDO? - There needs to be the possibility for other providers to gain such support as well. Otherwise it is a tall order to support a specialized data type in a *generic* data access layer like FDO. Do other systems like Oracle, Postgres, etc support XML columns? Getting the FDO provider to treat XML columns as strings is an easier proposition - Jackie -- View this message in context: http://osgeo-org.1560.n6.nabble.com/quick-one-regarding-mssql-tp5002497p5003117.html Sent from the MapGuide Users mailing list archive at Nabble.com. _______________________________________________ mapguide-users mailing list mapguide-users@lists.osgeo.org http://lists.osgeo.org/mailman/listinfo/mapguide-users
