CHARCHAR provides for fixed-length storage of strings. Syntax for Column Definitionlength is an unsigned integer literal. The default length for a CHAR is 1. Corresponding Compile-Time Java Typejava.lang.String JDBC Metadata Type (java.sql.Types)CHAR Cloudscape inserts spaces to pad a string value shorter than the expected length. Cloudscape truncates spaces from a string value longer than the expected length. Characters other than spaces cause an exception to be raised. When binary comparison operators are applied to CHARs, the shorter string is padded with spaces to the length of the longer string. When CHARs and VARCHARs are mixed in expressions, the shorter value is padded with spaces to the length of the longer value. The type of a string literal is CHAR. Implementation-Defined AspectsThe only limit on the length of CHAR data types is the value java.lang.Integer.MAX_VALUE. Literal Examples | ||
