XMLTYPE

edited August 2012 in General

Hi,

does ReportBuilder have the possibility to print the Oracle XMLTYPE
field.

Sample content of such a field




Use the renishaw probe on the Maho to measure dim PB and PC.
Attach the printout to the PD.


ACCEPT / REJECT. - If reject, recycle to clear rejects per MRS
No.





Currently using Delphi XE and RB 12.05 enterprise

    XML is text, therefore my guess is the Delphi TDataSet will treat this as a
    string/memo field. What data access components are you using to access
    Oracle? Try a simple test, place a query dataset on a form and connect a
    DBMemo. Does the DBMemo display the XML text?

    ReportBuilder leverages Delphi's TDataSet architecture. If the above test
    works then you should be able to place a ReportBuilder TppDBMemo on a report
    and have it render the XML text. (You can optionally set TppDBMemo.Stretch
    to true).
