Re: XML Field in DB2 table

In SQL they are defined as

myField clob(1024000) allocate(1) Not Null with default

and result in a 34 bytes pointer and what you sees in tools is *POINTER

But I'm not an expert ;-)

Ok, thanks I was digging and digging :) I know I can read them in a
program but interactively it kept coming up *pointer

*POINTER fields are CLOB fields

I took some time to play around with the xml field type today, but I'm
seeing someting a little strange.

To keep things simple, I created a simple table (two fields - primary
key
as int and an xml field) and inserted a record.

It parsed it find, no troubles...

When I do a select statement, the xml field comes back with *pointer is
that normal? Or did I do something wrong?
