Anoop Sharma updated TRAFODION-3157: ------------------------------------ Attachment: BinaryDatatype.docx > Add support for BINARY/VARBINARY datatype to Trafodion > ------------------------------------------------------ > > Key: TRAFODION-3157 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/TRAFODION-3157 > Project: Apache Trafodion > Issue Type: New Feature > Reporter: Anoop Sharma > Assignee: Anoop Sharma > Priority: Minor > Attachments: BinaryDatatype.docx > > > Binary datatype contains sequence of bytes that can consist of arbitrary > patterns. It is useful in cases where arbitrary patterns need to be stored > and retrieved without associating any datatype specific semantics like > character set, numeric interpretation, etc with it. > Currently, the existing datatype that is somewhat close to BINARY is ISO > VARCHAR. But it is not really binary as it follows character semantics. > This Jira is filed to add support for true binary datatype in Trafodion. > Detailed spec with syntax, semantics and operations on binary datatypes will > be added to this jira. -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v7.6.3#76005)
