Support for more data types

[Ricardo Peres <ri...@collibra.com.INVALID>]

Hi all,

Our team is currently looking into Avatica to solve a specific use case we
have.
In our use case, we don't have control/knowledge of the schema, any data
type can be returned. After some testing and checking the source code, we
noticed that some data types are currently not supported, for instance the
SQLXML data type.
We understand that some data types like BLOB and SQLXML are not
trivial/recommended to be sent via JSON/Protobuf over HTTP so, we would
like to know if there are plans to support these/more data types or if
there are any constraints that prevent the support to be implemented at all.

Kind regards.

Ricardo Peres.

Hi Julian,

Thanks for your reply.
We will create a ticket and start working on supporting SQLXML type for now,
this should allow us to familiarise with the source code and potentially
work
on other not supported standard data types in the future.

Kind regards.

Ricardo Peres.

Riccardo,

There is no technical reason for Avatica to not support those data
types. If someone contributed support for those data types (or any
other standard data types), we would gladly accept.
