Updating the Output Buffer

Mon, 01 Jan 0001 00:00:00 +0000

This page discusses the process to update the output buffer length for the Varchar Unicode UDFs.

By default, the value of the output buffer length is 500 characters. This value can be modified during the installation of the Teradata objects.

After completing the installation process, you may need to manually update the output buffer length values if necessary. For instance, if you need to protect strings longer than 500 bytes, adjust the buffer length to accommodate the largest string size. Be aware that a big buffer size slows the overall performance. Additionally, each protection method has a size limitations. For example, tokenization has a maximum size limit of 4096 bytes. The output buffer sizes for all the UDFs are stored in both, the dbpuserconf.ini and createvarcharunicode.sql files.
