Mobile Edition of dotConnect for Oracle works only in Direct Mode, which doesn't support the XML type now. The XML support in Direct Mode is on our roadmap, but there is no any timeframe at the moment.

New version of dotConnect for Oracle 6.70 is released!
It can be downloaded from http://www.devart.com/dotconnect/oracle/download.html (trial version) or from Registered Users' Area (for users with active subscription only).

For more information, please refer to http://www.devart.com/forums/viewtopic.php?t=23260 . The support for OBJECT, TABLE, VARRAY, REF, XMLTYPE data types in Direct mode is added in this version.
