In JDBC 4.0, java.sql.SQLXML is the mapping for the SQL XML data
type. However, defines
the XML data type and operators only in the SQL layer. There is no JDBC-side
support for the XML data type and operators
You cannot instantiate a
java.sql.SQLXML object in ,
or bind directly into an XML value or retrieve an XML value directly from
a result set. You must bind and retrieve the XML data as Java strings or
character streams by explicitly specifying the XML operators, XMLPARSE and
XMLSERIALIZE, as part of your SQL queries.
Additionally, does
not provide JDBC metatadata support for the XML data type.
