Hey guys. I know this is a little off the norm but I was thinking about the following... MS SQL2005 now supports xml and sometimes I have been known to have an XmlDocument on one of my domain objects (I know the other db's dont support XQuery so it would be one of those features that would downgrade in those cases). It would be pretty cool if I could run a query over these but do it all with your Expression object. It would know that the property was an xml field and instead of bamming out some sql it might bam out some basic XQuery. Obviously I'm not thinking it would support the full feature set but just basic selection/exclusion based on fields in the xml might be kind of handy... Thoughts on if this could be hooked in/if the hooks could be available so others could add the support? Cheers :-) James |

Hi James, cheers for the feedback. We are concentrating on the core first but may look at XML integration at some point. |

On xml, does Lightspeed handle automatically getting and saving an XmlDocument to and from the database? I know SQL Server and Oracle support xml types but in other databases the xml text could be saved into a varchar or clob column. |

Not currently, although you should be able to map via a string field - which you could then expose via an XmlDocument property. Cheers, Andrew. |
