    • Q1/2026 Server Development

    Description

      Implement the basic data type for XML: XMLTYPE.

      No validation, no special behavior.

      XML functions should return it. For this task it means only UPDATEXML. More functions will be implemented in the follow-up task MDEV-36261.

      Temporary tables should preserve it. CONCAT and other string functions convert to a string implicitly. Protocol — let's send it as a string for now.
