SQL Server 2005 introduced XML as a native datatype. Does Crystal have any handling built for it? If so, in which versions?

Thanks,
Karl

Yes, but this is a slightly different question. XML is not the data source in this case. SQL support XML as a data type. So you might have a table

id                 integer
Name           varchar(25)
SpecialData xml

tsql includes functionality to query into xml columns.

My question relates to how CR handles XML fields in SQL data sources, rather  than using XML as a datasource.

Thanks.
