Vikash Talanki updated PHOENIX-3187: ------------------------------------ Description: Currently, Phoenix CHAR data type supports only single byte characters. We need support for multi byte characters in CHAR datatype. Case 1: Support multi byte characters in CHAR data type like VARCHAR - CHAR(1) can take any multi-byte character. Case 2: Support multi byte characters in CHAR data type only if it fits in defined length - CHAR(1) takes only single byte character but CHAR( n ) can take one n-byte character. In other words, the total number of bytes of all characters should not exceed the defined length. was: Currently, Phoenix CHAR data type supports only single byte characters.
