34.16. Oracle Compatibility Mode#
ecpg can be run in a so-calledOracle compatibility mode. If this mode is active, it tries to behave as if it were OraclePro*C.
Specifically, this mode changesecpg in three ways:
Pad character arrays receiving character string types with trailing spaces to the specified length
Zero byte terminate these character arrays, and set the indicator variable if truncation occurs
Set the null indicator to
-1when character arrays receive empty character string types
