New database configuration parameters indicate the status
of several compatibility features.
The new parameters include:
- date_compat, which indicates whether the
DATE compatibility semantics associated with the TIMESTAMP(0) data
type are applied to the connected database
- number_compat, which indicates whether the
compatibility semantics associated with the NUMBER data type are applied
to the connected database
- varchar2_compat, which indicates whether
the compatibility semantics associated with the VARCHAR2 data type
are applied to the connected database
The value of each of these parameters is determined at database
creation time, and is based on the setting of the
DB2_COMPATIBILITY_VECTOR registry
variable. The value cannot be changed.
