Description: There may be performance issues while inserting a field type XMLType into a table.Note that inserting a CLOB type does not experience this issue. Symptoms: Inserting XMLTypeis much slower then inserting into a CLOB Type. Cause: When an XMLType instance is created, an XML syntax check is performed regardless of the storage architecture, to ensure that the XML document is well formed.
Issue/Introduction
TIBCO Oracle Driver for inserting into XMLType column.
Resolution
If you are going to store XML and plan never to use it, you may choose to use CLOB s instead of XMLType for storage due to the processing requirements of the well-formedness check. Additionally, if you can not be sure your documents are well formed, you may choose to store your documents as CLOB's. If you plan to use XML-related functionality with these documents, use XMLType.
The following is a quick overview of the types of applications that can benefit from using CLOB -based XMLType storage:
Systems that require high-volume XML document ingest or that commonly require full document reads.
Systems that are meant to be "unstructured" or that lack a DTD or XML schema to dictate the documents format.
Systems in which the DTDs or XML schemas are likely to change frequently.
