---------------------------------------
Summary: Add support for BINARY/VARBINARY datatype to Trafodion
Key: TRAFODION-3157
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/TRAFODION-3157
Project: Apache Trafodion
Issue Type: New Feature
Reporter: Anoop Sharma
Assignee: Anoop Sharma
Binary datatype contains sequence of bytes that can consist of arbitrary
patterns. It is useful in cases where arbitrary patterns need to be stored and
retrieved without associating any datatype specific semantics like character
set, numeric interpretation, etc with it.
Currently, the existing datatype that is somewhat close to BINARY is ISO
VARCHAR. But it is not really binary as it follows character semantics.
This Jira is filed to add support for true binary datatype in Trafodion.
Detailed spec with syntax, semantics and operations on binary datatypes will be
added to this jira.
