The types for storing XML in SQL columns vary depending on the platform. A few
years ago, it was primarily LONG, VARCHAR or CLOB.

The SQL:2003 standard added a native XML type for columns. An XML type is
implemented in the most recent versions of Oracle and Microsoft SQL Server.
If you use IBM DB2 XML Extender, you use functions and procedures that operate
with XML in VARCHAR and CLOB columns. An XML type will be in a future release.
