Before DB2 9, CLOB columns were a common choice to store XML data.
A fundamental difference between CLOB storage and pureXML processing lies in
XML parsing and its significant impact on insert and query performance.
Refer to the example on the right to see how XML documents can be stored in CLOB.
Note that the CREATE TABLESPACE statements may fail if they already exist in the database. If that's the case, you may ignore those errors.
