Oracle Field XMLTYPE

[sfalke]

In one of my tables I have a field of type XMLTYPE. Retrieving this, throws the Exception "Unsupported File Type". As soon as I delete the field from the table everything works fine. Do you know this error, and do you know any workaround? Checked my whole System and I'm afraid the error comes from the oracle driver.

thanx for closing without a solution ;-) I found a workaround myself. Just added the following lines to the file Database/Schema/OracleSchema.php to the functioin convertColumnDescription:

switch ($row['type']){
         ....
            case 'XMLTYPE':
                $field = [
                    'type' => 'xmltype',
                    'length' => $row['char_length']
                    ];
                break;
     ...
}

works for me
