Description
Describe the feature
Postgres supports the storage of valid xml documents with the XMLType. https://www.postgresql.org/docs/9.3/datatype-xml.html
I think it would make sense to Map it to a Java String
Use cases
From the link above:
The xml data type can be used to store XML data. Its advantage over storing XML data in a text field is that it checks the input values for well-formedness, and there are support functions to perform type-safe operations on it
Contribution
I would like to implement this but would probably need a few pointers.
I already looked at these classes (DataType.java, DataTypeCodec.java, PreparedStatementTestBase.java, RowImpl.java) and added a class to wrap the xml data which i think might be a bit redundant in the end as we could just use the String class i think. Anyway a quick talk about how a satisfactory solution could look like and what you guys think would be needed to get this going would be appreciated.
Kind regards
