The following table describes the relationship between the java.sql.Type values used as models to generate resources from, their corresponding Java object types, and the implementation of each of these types (if any) on supported JDBC platforms talk).
The table will also indicate the types supported by the standard Portal Content Publishing template. Other types can be supported by using custom templates.
The following types are affected by the limitations of the double-byte language: CHAR and GRAPHIC are automatically mapped to CHAR in writing mode. LONG VARCHAR and LONG VARGRAPHIC are automatically mapped to LONG VARCHAR.
VARCHAR and VARGRAPHIC are automatically mapped to VARCHAR. CLOB and DBCLOB are automatically mapped to CLOB. If you want to use another type, manually create a custom table in your authoring database.
Users should note that IBM DB2 automatically pads spaces (x'20') for CHAR FOR BIT DATA types. Therefore, although CHAR FOR BIT DATA can be used to store BINARY information, VARCHAR FOR BIT DATA (VARBINARY) is usually more suitable for small binary types that are used to store non-ACSII binary information.
