Re: DBD::OCBC support for XML datatype in SQL Server 2005

  Michael has confirmed that DBD::ODBC 1.24_6 fixes the problem he saw 
with SQL Server XMLType columns.

1.24_6 defaults binding of XMLType parameters as SQL_WCHAR on Unicode 
enabled DBD::ODBCs now and the length() issue (which turned out to be an 
error in DBD::ODBC ignoring magic) is also fixed for unicode strings. 
There may be other magic issues which I cannot confirm as yet as I've 
not had a chance to work through the code to examine all instances of 
changing a scalar DBD::ODBC did not create. Thanks to Perl Monks for 
identifying the length() problem and to Tim for pointing me at other 
areas where it could be a problem.
