Hi,
I have a requirement where i have to read datatype-'XMLTYPE' in Oracle Stage in Enterprise edition.While trying to View data as 'Longvarchar' i am getting error like-
"Internal Error: (colDesc):orautils.C: 1714: getColDesc failed."
Can anyone provide inputs how to do this?

Welcome aboard.

IMPORT the table definition from Oracle, and use it unchanged.

I tried this but it's not working because of the XML type.Its giving the same error -"Internal Error: (colDesc):orautils.C: 1714: getColDesc failed." while importing table definition.

Hi,

Try using the DRS or ODBC stage. We had some issues with Memo fields and then we used the DRS or ODBC stage to resolve it.
