Database Character Encoding

The length of new or modified strings can be checked for compatibility with the used database before the data is saved. String length is usually validated by an object editor itself but there are situations when saving strings above the length limit could be attempted (e.g. data supplied by a workflow). In such situations string length check (when enabled) prevents an SQL exception.

For string lengths checking to work properly, Valuemation must know about the code page used by the database. For use with Uncode, the setting should be set to UTF-8. To do so:

1. In Valuemation Rich Client, go to Global Settings / General / Customizer Settings
2. Locate settings 'Database character encoding for string length check' and select value 'UTF-8'
