2.4 CHAR Semantics
This feature allows the gateway to optionally run in CHAR
Semantics mode.
Rather than always describing Sybase CHAR
columns as CHAR(n BYTE)
, this feature describes them as CHAR(n CHAR)
and VARCHAR(n CHAR)
. The concept is similar to Oracle database CHAR
Semantics. You need to specify HS_NLS_LENGTH_SEMANTICS=CHAR
gateway parameter to activate this option. Refer to Initialization Parameters for more detail.
