There is a bug here. map_sql_type_to_xmlschema_type() has special treatment
for domains, but map_sql_value_to_xml_value() and its callers have no
corresponding logic. In the same vein, this yields a schema that does not
validate its corresponding document:
set datestyle = 'sql, dmy';
create domain datedom as date;
create table t as select current_date AS a, current_date::datedom AS b;
select table_to_xml('t', true, true, '');
select table_to_xmlschema('t', true, true, '');
One could debate whether the schema generation or the data generation should
be the one to change, but I tentatively vote for the latter.
Thanks,
