I currently am using Crystal Reports 2013 SP7 with a JDBC connection to a DB2 database. I use a particular table for many of my reports and recently this table was updated by the software developer. This update added two columns to the table that had a data type of xml. Now none of my reports that I have been using will open without returning the error: “Failed to retrieve data from the database. Details: Not implemented”. I tried to create a new report and Crystal Reports will not let me add this table to a new report because of the same error. I also tried an earlier JDBC driver (version 3) instead of the JDBC driver (version 4) that we use with our business application. The data in those new columns is not needed for any of my reports and it appears that the introduction of the xml data type is the reason as this is the first time the developer has used that data type in any tables. There is one other table that had xml data type columns added and that table cannot be added to a report either. Any suggestions on how to fix or work around this.
