Problem IC78215
|
Status: Geschlossen |
ALTER FOR BIT DATA COLUMN DATA TYPE TO CHAR OR VARCHAR CHANGES COLUMN CODEPAGE |
| Produkt: |
DB2 FOR LUW / DB2FORLUW / 970 - DB2 |
| Problembeschreibung: |
Altering a FOR BIT DATA column data type to CHAR or VARCHAR
unexpectedly changes the column codepage from 0 to the database
codepage. For example:
CREATE TABLE T ( C CHAR(5) FOR BIT DATA )
SELECT CODEPAGE FROM SYSCAT.COLUMNS WHERE COLNAME='C' AND
TABNAME='T'
CODEPAGE
--------
0
1 record(s) selected.
ALTER TABLE T ALTER COLUMN C SET DATA TYPE CHAR(8)
SELECT CODEPAGE FROM SYSCAT.COLUMNS WHERE COLNAME='C' AND
TABNAME='T'
CODEPAGE
--------
1208
1 record(s) selected.
The expected behaviour is that the FOR BIT DATA attribute is
maintained and the codepage remains 0.
It is not possible to alter a FOR BIT DATA column to CHAR or
VARCHAR without FOR BIT DATA. |

| Local-Fix: |
When altering a FOR BIT DATA column data type, ensure the FOR
BIT DATA clause is specified, e.g.: ALTER TABLE T ALTER COLUMN C
SET DATA TYPE CHAR(8) FOR BIT DATA. |
