uselike
For Unicode fields, use the Oracle LIKE
operator instead of the
LIKEC
operator in the where
clause of queries
USYS$ORA_PARAMS = uselike
Use
Use uselike
only if you encounter performance problems when working with
Unicode data and the database is set up with Unicode character sets (UTF8, UTF16, and so on),
because LIKE
calculates strings using characters as defined by the input character
set.
Description
By default, the connector invokes the Oracle LIKEC
operator when the
where
clause is used in SQL queries with Unicode data
($DEF_CHARSET=UTF8
or when the field has a W
interface). In some configurations, this may lead to performance problems.
