Enables the driver to support XMLType with binary storage on servers running Oracle 12c and higher.
Valid Values
0 | 1
Behavior
If set to 0 (Disabled), the driver does not support XMLType with binary storage and returns the error "This column type is not currently supported by this driver."
If set to 1 (Enabled), the driver supports XMLType with binary storage by negotiating server and client capabilities during connection time. As a result of this negotiation, decoded data associated with XMLType columns is returned in an in-line fashion without locators. This setting is supported only for Oracle 12c and higher.
Notes
Queries involving XMLType with binary storage and XMLType with CLOB storage are affected when Support Binary XML is enabled (SupportBinaryXML=1). When Support Binary XML is enabled, XMLType with binary storage and XMLType with CLOB storage are returned in an in-line fashion without locators. Under these circumstances, executing a Select that includes XMLType columns can degrade performance because the driver must pull all in-line data to execute the query.”
