Oracle Ignore Length Semantics Setting
Published 15 January 2025
Description
Ignores length semantics differences for columns.
CHAR and VARCHAR2 columns are stored as CHAR or BYTE depending on the server configuration (NLS_LENGTH_SEMANTICS) or column specification. Normally, if a particular column is stored as CHAR in one schema and BYTE in another, Schema Compare will treat this as a difference.
If this option is set, Schema Compare will not treat it as a difference.
Type

Default
false
