Intended Use

Japanese applications that rely on the KANJISJIS characteristics (for example, KANJISJIS physical space allocation).

Pad Character

ASCII SPACE (0x20)

N-Character SQL Declaration

CHARACTER(n) CHARACTER SET KANJISJIS

Maximum Value for n

32000

This also is the size of LONG VARCHAR CHARACTER SET KANJISJIS.

Usage Notes

The KANJISJIS type has a mixed single byte/multibyte character form-of-use of the KANJISJIS client character set.

The database storage space allocation for this type is on a byte basis rather than character basis. When updating the field, truncation occurs based on this physical space.

All SQL string functions on this type operate on a logical character basis.

This type is included for third party tools that rely on the semantics of KANJISJIS, such as the string length or physical space allocation.

CLOBs do not support the KANJISJIS server character set.
