The CQD must be turned **'OFF'** before creating a table, otherwise an error will be raised if `EMPTY_BLOB()` or `EMPTY_CLOB()` is inserted into a lob column, and the **column definition** of lob column is **VARCHAR** (see the first attachment). 2. Correct behaviour: Set the CQD 'OFF', then create a table and insert `EMPTY_BLOB()` or `EMPTY_CLOB()`, it will succeed and the column definition is **CLOB** rather than VARCHAR (see the second attachment). 3. The default value of this CQD is ON. Thanks for your reminding, may I change this note to the following? Note: If you want to insert `EMPTY_BLOB()` or `EMPTY_CLOB()` into a lob column, the CQD `TRAF_CLOB_AS_VARCHAR` which is **ON** by default must be turned **OFF** before creating a table, otherwise an error will be raised and the column definition of the lob column is VARCHAR.   > Add a Note for EMPTY_BLOB() and EMPTY_CLOB() for *Trafodion SQL Large Objects > Guide* > ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ > > Key: TRAFODION-2850 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/TRAFODION-2850 > Project: Apache Trafodion > Issue Type: Documentation > Reporter: Liu Yu > Assignee: Liu Yu > -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v6.4.14#64029)
