Problem description: | |
Graphic data in a Unicode database is being inserted differently in DB2 V8.2 as it is in DB2 DB2 V9.5. Here is a CLI testscript that reproduces this problem: opt calldiag on opt autocommit on sqlallocenv 1 sqlallocconnect 1 1 SQLSetConnectAttr 1 SQL_ATTR_WCHARTYPE 1 sqlconnect 1 "utf8" -3 sqlallocstmt 1 1 sqlexecdirect 1 "drop table testtab" -3 sqlexecdirect 1 "create table testtab (c1 vargraphic(127), c2 vargraphic(127))" -3 sqlprepare 1 "insert into testtab values (?, ?)" -3 getmem 1 1 sql_c_dbchar 128 getmem 1 2 sql_c_dbchar 128 sqlbindparameter 1 1 sql_param_input sql_c_dbchar sql_vargraphic 0 0 1 sqlbindparameter 1 2 sql_param_input sql_c_dbchar sql_vargraphic 0 0 2 updatemem 1 sql_c_dbchar value 28 0x0000004D00000079000000430000006F0000006E0000007300000074 updatemem 2 sql_c_dbchar value 28 0x0000004D0000007900000056000000610000006C0000007500000065 sqlexecute 1 sqlallocstmt 1 2 sqlprepare 2 "select hex(c1) from testtab" -3 sqlexecute 2 fetchall 2 The "fetchall" output in DB2 V8.2, you get the value "0x004D00790043006F006E00730074" The "fetchall" output in DB2 V9.5, you get the value "0x0000004D00000079000000430000006F0000006E0000007300000074" The expected value from DB2 V8.2 & DB2 V9.5 should be consistent. If you query the actual value (not the hex value) from the CLP, then the values returned are "MyConst" and "MyValue" for both C1 and C2 in v8.2. But in DB2 v9.5, the values are not converted properly and you see blanks. | |
