36.16. Oracle Compatibility Mode
ecpg
can be run in a so-called
Oracle
compatibility mode
. If this mode is active, it tries to
behave as if it were Oracle
Pro*C
.
Specifically, this mode changes
ecpg
in three ways:
-
Pad character arrays receiving character string types with trailing spaces to the specified length
-
Zero byte terminate these character arrays, and set the indicator variable if truncation occurs
-
Set the null indicator to
-1when character arrays receive empty character string types
