Support for XML data types

[mp911de]

Ideally, we interchange SQLXML as Clob type. We should also provide a utility to retrieve SQLXML for document parsing and to provide Clob data from a Document.

Still no support for xml data type ? I have a db with a column defined as xml (no way to change it). Can't go ahead with reactive/r2dbc. Is it planned for soon ?

Thanks for signaling interest from your side. This is an open-source project that is maintained by volunteers. Feel free to come up with a pull request if you want to use XML data types through R2DBC.

I understand. But I'm not sure I'm able to add what is missing for having it working.

I first downloaded the sources and build it successfully with mvn clean install -DskipTests
I then changed, in my application, the dependency version to

<dependency>
    <groupId>io.r2dbc</groupId>
    <artifactId>r2dbc-mssql</artifactId>
    <version>0.9.0.BUILD-SNAPSHOT</version>
    <scope>runtime</scope>
</dependency>

But now when starting my application I have
java: warnings found and -Werror specified
and I can see there are 8 warnings in ReactorNettyClient.java of deprecated functions.
E.g. java: reactor.core.publisher.EmitterProcessor in reactor.core.publisher has been deprecated.

If I comment <arg>-Werror</arg> the application does not start either :
Caused by: java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: io.r2dbc.spi.Type

It doesn't start well...

The main branch uses R2DBC SPI 0.9.0.M1 and the pure Maven build via mvnw -B deploy -D skipITs -P snapshot is green. What I've observed is that at times, IntelliJ has an issue with -Werror. I wasn't able to resolve the deprecation warning issue via command line args myself.
