SQL Server XML datatype with CDATA

Read Original

The article details a discovery about SQL Server's XML datatype: it does not preserve CDATA sections within XML data. When CDATA is inserted, SQL Server silently converts it to escaped character entities (e.g., < >). The author references a Microsoft Connect case and expresses a preference for the datatype to accept and preserve CDATA as long as the XML is well-formed.
