Problem IC81714
|
Status: Closed |
WHEN IMPORT FROM FILE ENCODED IN UTF-8 INTO COLUMN DEFINED AS GRAPHIC ON UNICODE DATABASE, STRING MAY BE TRUNCATED. |
| product: |
DB2 FOR LUW / DB2FORLUW / 970 - DB2 |
| Problem description: |
If a column is defined as GRAPHIC(n), and when importing the
data in "n" characters in a file encoded in UTF-8, the
characters may be truncated, since the character strings in
UTF-8 format may have different lengths in bytes from the target
column.
However, as long as the same number of characters is defined, it
should be imported. |
