TRIM_PARTIAL_MBC
Option
Allows automatic trimming of partial multibyte character data.
Allowed Values
ON, OFF
Default
OFF
Scope
Option can be set at the database (PUBLIC) level only.
Requires the SET ANY SYSTEM OPTION system privilege to set this option. Takes effect immediately.
Remarks
Provides consistent loading of data for collations that contain both single-byte
and multibyte characters. When TRIM_PARTIAL_MBC is ON:
- A partial multibyte character is replaced with a blank when loading into a CHAR column.
- A partial multibyte character is truncated when loading into a VARCHAR column.
When TRIM_PARTIAL_MBC is OFF, normal CONVERSION_ERROR semantics are in effect.
