2.1.23 Text

  • Article

The Text data type supports a range of single-type characters that has a maximum number of storage bytes of 231 – 1 (2,147,483,647). The values of this data type are represented in simple Unicode string format, as follows.

  
 Text = 0*nOCTET

In this format, n = 2 x (231 -1) (4,294,967,294). The single-byte characters are converted to their corresponding Unicode characters, therefore doubling the number of OCTET.
