XML Type for PostgreSQLThis is home page for 'XML Type for PostgreSQL' project. This project was started as a part of Google Summer of Code 2006 (you can read proposal here [1]). Now the code is disributed as a patch, assumed to be applied to PostgreSQL version 8.2.1. After applying the patch you should run configure with --with-xml option and then make, as usual and initdb new cluster (note, that only UTF8 is the only encoding being supported at the moment). Patch assumes that libxml2 2.6.* [2] is installed on your system. UPDATE: Peter Eisentraut fixed and enchanced some issues, and commited the patch to the PostgreSQL's CVS (8.3devel). However, some things (e.g., all XPath functions, XMLAGG, as of now) are not present in the source tree, because they need improvements. For additional information, check out the current TODO document: http://developer.postgresql.org/index.php/XML_Todo. [3] More information:
Note: use "set client_min_messages to DEBUG1" to see native (libxml2's) error messages. Good error handling is still an open issue.
