Modify the documentation for the 10.7 release regarding the UTF-8 CCSID manager
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Key: DERBY-4827
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/DERBY-4827
Project: Derby
Issue Type: Bug
Affects Versions: 10.7.0.0
Reporter: Tiago R. Espinha
With the introduction of UTF-8 support in the client driver (DERBY-728), the
documentation regarding the length of the arguments (RDBNAM, USRID, etc) will
become misleading.
On the list, Kathey has identified [1] one of such spots. Before releasing, we
should try to find any other occurrences and fix them accordingly. Please note
that the UTF-8 is a variable length encoding and as such, since we are
maintaining the 255-byte length cap, the length in characters will now be
variable.
Regular ASCII characters still take 1 byte, Latin and other extended characters
take 2 bytes, Chinese characters take 3 bytes and some special characters take
4 bytes. [2]
