Character Data

  • CHAR

  • NCHAR

  • NVARCHAR

  • VARCHAR

  • UNICHAR

  • UNIVARCHAR

Limitations of Support

  • These data types are supported to the maximum length supported by the database, this being the maximum page size.

  • Fetching NVARCHAR replication results using the Sybase char_length or datalength functions when a Sybase database is the target and the source is a Non-Oracle database and you replicate from the source to the target may result in a data integrity issue. This occurs when you use a Sybase release earlier than Adaptive Server Enterprise 15.5 for Windows x64 platform EBF 21262: 15.5 ESD #5.3.
