<dd>UTF-8 data is stored in a character field with a CCSID of 1208. A UTF-8
|
||
|
|
character is a variable number of bytes (one, two, three, or four) for a non-combining
|
||
|
|
character, and any number of bytes for a combining character. The length specified
|
||
|
|
for a character field is the maximum number of bytes the field can contain.
|
||
|
|
You can tag the following data types with a UTF-8 1208 CCSID: <ul><li>Fixed length character (CHAR)</li>
|
||
|
|
<li>Variable length character (VARCHAR)</li>
|
||
|

<li> Character LOB (CLOB)</li>

<div class="p">UTF-16 data is stored in a graphic field with a CCSID of 1200. A UTF-16
|

|
|
character can be either two or four bytes (that is, Surrogate) in length for
|
||
|
|
a non-combining character and any number of bytes for a combining character.
|
||
|
|
The length specified for a graphic data field is the maximum number of two
|
||
|
|
bytes characters the field can contain. You can tag the following data types
|
||
|
|
with a UTF-16 1200 CCSID:<ul><li>Fixed length graphic (GRAPHIC)</li>

<li>Variable length graphic (VARGRAPHIC)</li>

|

<dd>The BINARY and VARBINARY data types are similar to the CHAR and VARCHAR
|
||
|
|
data types, but contain binary data rather than character data. BINARY fields
|
||
|
|
have a fixed length. VARBINARY fields are of varying length. The BINARY and
|
||
|
|
VARBINARY data types have the following characteristics: <ul><li>The coded character set identifier (CCSID) for binary types is 65535</li>
|
||
|
|
<li>In assignments and comparisons, binary data types are compatible only
|
||
|
|
with other binary data types (BINARY, VARBINARY, and BLOB)</li>
|
||
|
|
<li>The pad character for binary data types is x'00' instead of the blank
|
||
|
|
character </li>
|
||
|
|
<li>In situations requiring trailing characters to be stripped to prevent
|
||
|
|
truncation errors, x'00' characters are stripped instead of trailing blanks</li>
|
||
|
|
<li>When comparing binary data types, for two fields to be equal both the
|
||
|
|
data and the lengths must be the same. Trailing zeros are not ignored in comparisons</li>
|
||
|
|
<li>When comparing binary data types, if two fields have different lengths,
|
||
|
|
the shorter field is considered less than the longer field if the fields are
|
||
|
|
the same up to the length of the shorter field</li>

<dd>Decimal precision now supports up to 63 digits. Three properties were

added, "minimum divide scale", "maximum precision", and "maximum scale" and

six methods added to AS400JDBCDataSource, setMinimumDivideScale(int divideScale),

getMinimumDivideScale(), setMaximumPrecision(int precision), getMaximumPrecision(),

setMaximumScale(int scale), and getMaximumScale(). Minimum divide scale specifies
|

the minimum scale value for the result of decimal division and is set to any

number between 0 and 9. Maximum precision specifies the maximum decimal precision
