Describes a (W)(VAR)CHAR(n) as a WLONGVARCHAR or LONGVARCHAR when n is larger than a specified value. The corresponding connection property, DescribeVarcharAsLongvarchar, sets the size n. This workaround is typically used in Oracle Heterogeneous Services, which does not support VARCHAR longer than 4096.

Valid Values

  • If set to 0, the WCHAR, VARCHAR, and WVARCHAR data types are not mapped to LONGVARCHAR data types.
  • If set to 1, the WCHAR, VARCHAR, and WVARCHAR data types are mapped to LONGVARCHAR data types.

Default
