XML Data type storage

Hi All,

As per BOL, XML data type can store up 2 GB of data.
My question is when a row is inserted in a table, for its xml column,
2GB of space will be resered.
In other words, how xml is internally stored. Is storage allocation is
similar to varchar(max) data type?

Thanks in advance for everything.

Found the answer for my question on msdn:

In-row and out-of-row storage
Small XML data type instances are stored within the rows of a table.
Larger values that cannot be accommodated within a disk page are stored
out of row with an in-row pointer of 16 bytes.

Regards,
NH

The following program compiles fine but elicits this message from the linker: "undefined reference to VarArray::funct" and thus fails. It seems to behave as if the static data-member: VarArray::funct were an extern, but it is declared in the same file (q.v.). What is the remedy for this? =================

Hello, I have a question regarding storage locations for different data types. For example, dynamically created objects (using "new") are created on the heap. local objects ( foo() {int x;} ) are on the stack. 1)Where are global non-const objects created? 2)Where are global const objects created?

Can anyone point me to an open source library of /statically allocated/ data structures? I'm writing some code that would benefit from trees, preferably self balancing, but on an embedded system that doesn't offer dynamic memory allocation (to be clear: no malloc, no realloc), and with rather tight memory constraints. Writing my own malloc to do dynamic allocation from some static pool isn't really an option, for various reasons, not...

I was recently part of a little debate on the issue of whether constants and string literals are considered "data objects" in C. I'm more confused now than before. I was always under the understanding that only "named" storage areas(from the standard) were data objects. Since constants and string literals don't have lvalues, they can't be data objects. Yet, I was shown the first page of chapter 2 in K&R2, which states that variables...

Hi all, AFAIK it is possible for columns to be very large, up to about 2 GB. Are there any hints or experiences about storing binary data (jpg-images, pdf-documents) in PostgrreSQL with or without the complicated lo-stuff? Of course it's in many cases a good approach to store those files simply in the file system but there's always a risk of running out of sync (filesystem and tables), e.g. by deleting files and not deleting the table...

Overview: Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
