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 / A10 - 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. | |
