Last updated on APRIL 17, 2023

Applies to:

Oracle GoldenGate - Version 19.1.0.0.4 and later
Information in this document applies to any platform.

Symptoms

When inserting NULL Character values in to the database, OGG is inserting an ASCII '0' value instead of a true NULL value.

This causes data compare scripts to fail validation.

Source:
TANDEM non-Stop running GGS 12.2.3

Target:
Oracle Exadata 19c
CharSet UTF8

 

Changes

 When upgrading to a OGG 12+ where NOBINARYCHARS is deprecated and no longer functional, strings starting with \0 will get faithfully inserted containing the \0.
