SAP Hana - XML Types/Parsing

[Former Member]

Hello,

Does HANA support XML data type? I have a developer edition on AWS and I didnt find XML type in the dropdown list when tried to create one. So I am wondering if HANA supports XML types at all. Is there a alternative to save and parse XML data in HANA?

Thanks in advance,

Rajesh

No there is no specific XML data type in the database itself. Of course XML can be stored as a string or byte arrary within the database as a STRING, BLOB, or CLOB fields.  As far as XML parsing; there is a new API in SPS09 within the XS layer of HANA for that.

Hi Thomas,

Is SAP Hana going to support XML Types and queries on database level? I am not able to find this information on the internet.

Thank you

Vaclav
