Dear all,

OCILIB v4.7.7 is now available for download !

Get the release and enjoy it !

Enhancements (C API)

• Oracle XMLTYPE is now partially supported
  • Added OCI_XmlType* data type (OCI_CDT_XMLTYPE) that can only be fetched from resultets in this current release
  • OCI_ColumnGetType() reports “XMLTYPE” as SQL type
  • OCI_TypeInfoGet() returns a valid OCI_TypeInfo handle for the type name “SYS.XMLTYPE”
  • OCI_GetString() returns a string representation of a XMLTYPE object
  • Added the following new APIs:
    • OCI_GetXmlType()
    • OCI_GetXmlType2()
    • OCI_XmlTypeToText()
  • In this current release, use OCI_GetString() instead of OCI_GetXmlType() as:
    • OCI_XmlType handles can only be used to getting XML content strings, which is already done by OCI_GetString()
    • In later releases, OCI_XmlType API will evolve to support local xml object creation, DOM manipulation, SQL binding

Enhancements (C++ API)

• Oracle XMLTYPE is now partially supported:
  • Added ocilib::XmlType class (that can only be retrieved using ocilib::Resultset::Get<ocilib::XmlType>())
  • ocilib::Resultset::Get() returns a string representation of the XMLTYPE object
• Added Interval::GetNanoSeconds() and Interval::SetNanoSeconds()
