OTL 4.0, Example 709 (XML as varchar_long/wstring on SELECT, and varchar_long/wstring on INSERT)

This example demonstrates simple INSERT and SELECT statements with the PostgreSQL 8.3 (and higher) XML datatype as well as constant SQL statements. XML type columns can be bound with varchar_long variables on INSERT/UPDATE/DELETE. On SELECT, XML gets bound to varchar_long by default.
