NLS_LENGTH_SEMANTICS

TimesTen uses the NLS_LENGTH_SEMANTICS attribute to set the default length semantics configuration.

Length semantics determines how the length of a character string is determined. The length can be treated as a sequence of characters or a sequence of bytes.

NLS_LENGTH_SEMANTICS can be modified by an ALTER SESSION SQL statement, described in Oracle TimesTen In-Memory Database SQL Reference .
