Like in Oracle VARCHAR( 60 CHAR ) I would like to specify a varchar field with variable length depending on the inserted characters.
for example:
create table X (text varchar(3))
insert into X (text) VALUES ('äöü')
Should be possible (with UTF8 as the default charset of the database).
On DB2 I got this Error: DB2 SQL Error: SQLCODE=-302, SQLSTATE=22001
(Character data, right truncation occurred; for example, an update or insert value is a string that is too long for the column, or a datetime value cannot be assigned to a host variable, because it is too small.)
I'm looking for solutions for DB2, MsSql, MySql, Hypersonic.
