Understanding the character comparison difference between JDBC and SQL*Plus (Doc ID 1131104.1)

Last updated on MAY 01, 2024

Applies to:

JDBC - Version 11.1.0.7 and later
Information in this document applies to any platform.

Symptoms

Char datatype implies fixed length, so data in a CHAR column in a table is appended with whitespaces if the inserted value is shorter than the defined length.


In this case,  a single "1"€ does not match the value in the table. This is not the same result as SQL*Plus.
