The "length" functions return the length of char. LENGTH calculates length using characters as defined by the input character set.
LENGTHB uses bytes instead of characters. LENGTHC uses Unicode complete characters. LENGTH2 uses UCS2 codepoints. LENGTH4 uses UCS4 codepoints
length函数返回字符的长度,它使用定义好的输入的字符集计算长度.
lengthb使用bytes代替字符
VSIZE returns the number of bytes in the internal representation of expr.
vsize 返回内部表示的字节的数目。internal representation of expr谁能解释一下。
看sql示例:
select length('adfad合理') "bytesLengthIs" from dual --7
select lengthb('adfad') "bytesLengthIs" from dual --5
select lengthb('adfad合理') "bytesLengthIs" from dual --11
select vsize('adfad合理') "bytesLengthIs" from dual --11
select lengthc('adfad合理')"bytesLengthIs" from dual --7
结论:在utf-8的字符集下
lengthb=vsize
lengthc=length
疑问:中文字符怎么会占用了3个byte?而不是2个。是utf-8字符集的原因?
谁知道??????

用String的getBytes方法测试了一下.
结论是utf-8的中文字符占用3个字节,gbk的中文字符占用2个字节,iso-8859-1的中文字符被识别为占用2个字节,iso不支持中文字符的编码,应该是都当成某个拉丁字母了.Oracle没有关系,oracle只是负责存储数据.
可以先用 select * from v$nls_parameters 看看oracle的字符集
下边是测试的类:
import java.io.UnsupportedEncodingException;
public class TextEncoding {
/**

public static byte[] getBytes(String content,String charsetName)
throws UnsupportedEncodingException{
return content.getBytes(charsetName);
}

public static byte[] getBytes(String content){
return content.getBytes();
}
public static void main(String[]args){
String content="1e宝宝";
byte[] len;
try{
len=getBytes(content,"UTF-8");
System.out.println(" the byte array length is "+len.length);
len=getBytes(content,"GBK");
System.out.println(" the byte array length is "+len.length);
len=getBytes(content,"ISO-8859-1");
System.out.println(" the byte array length is "+len.length);
}catch(Exception e){
System.out.println("Can 't recognize");
}
// System.out.println("the content byte[] length is "+);
}
}
输出 :
the byte array length is 8
the byte array length is 6
the byte array length is 4
