How to determine (query for) the storage type of an XML column

Hi Community,

My apologies as I only did a quick search (~ 30 minutes) and read through some of the documentation but I'm having trouble finding out an answer to my simple question, "How to determine (query for) the storage type of an XML column".   Our application's database structure is a object-relational hybrid with XMLType column based on CLOB storage and some columns are XMLType column based on Binary XML storage.

We want to do audit of all the XMLtype columns in the application.

I'm looking for a data dictionary query or dbms_metadata package that will tell me what type of storage a XMLType column is ... ie is it CLOB storage or Binary storage type ?

Howdy, Stranger!
