GRAPHIC, VARGRAPHIC and LONG VARGRAPHIC

GRAPHIC, VARGRAPHIC and LONG VARGRAPHIC data types are used to store graphic data. A graphic data is a sequence of bytes that represents double-byte character data, the length of the graphic value is the number of double-byte characters in this sequence. If the length is zero, the value is called the empty string. This value should not be confused with the NULL value.

For a Unicode database, the GRAPHIC data types are considered to be equivalent to CHAR data types.

GRAPHIC[(n)]

A fixed-length graphic string. The range of n is 1 to 127 double-byte characters. When n is not cpecified the default value is 1.

VARGRAPHIC(n)

A variable-length graphic string. The range of n is 1 to 16 336 double-byte characters.

LONG VARGRAPHIC

A variable-length graphic string. The maximum length is 16 350 double-byte characters.
