A rule that assigns numbers (character codes) to all characters in a character set. Encoding scheme, encoding method, and encoding also mean character encoding scheme.
Industry:Software
The encoded character set used by the client. A client character set can differ from the server character set. The server character set is called the database character set. If the client character set is different from the database character set, then character set conversion must occur.
Industry:Software
The numeric representation of a character in a character set. For example, the code point of A in the ASCII character set is 0x41. The code point of a character is also called the encoded value of a character.
Industry:Software
The unit of encoded text for processing and interchange. The size of the code unit varies depending on the character encoding scheme. In most character encodings, a code unit is 1 byte. Important exceptions are UTF-16 and UCS-2, which use 2-byte code units, and wide character, which uses 4 bytes.
Industry:Software
The process of identifying potential problems with character set conversion and truncation of data before migrating the database character set.
Industry:Software
The encoded character set that is used to store text in the database. This includes CHAR, VARCHAR2, LONG, and fixed-width CLOB column values and all SQL and PL/SQL text.
Industry:Software
Extended Binary Coded Decimal Interchange Code. EBCDIC is a family of encoded character sets used mostly on IBM systems.
Industry:Software
A character set with an associated character encoding scheme. An encoded character set specifies the number (character code) that is assigned to each character.
Industry:Software
The numeric representation of a character in a character set. For example, the code point of A in the ASCII character set is 0x41. The encoded value of a character is also called the code point of a character.
Industry:Software
