Database Cross Load for tables with XML-Columns (restriction SQL1407N)

Since XML columns were implemented in DB2 years ago, many customers want to transfer data from one database to another (e.g., when moving from an on-premises environment to the cloud).

All data can be load via cross-load like this

CALL ADMIN_CMD('LOAD FROM (DATABASE <dbName> SELECT * FROM <tabSchema>.<tabName>) OF CURSOR INSERT INTO <tabSchema>.<tabName> COPY YES …');

which is very comfortable and fast.

Only tables with XML-Columns can’t be load:

https://www.ibm.com/docs/en/db2/12.1.x?topic=commands-load
(Loading XML documents between databases is not supported and returns error message SQL1407N)

For many of us DB2 users, this is a big pain point.
Please remove the restriction SQL1407N
