2.1.2 Binary

  • Article

The Binary data type is a user-defined fixed number of bytes that has a supported number of bytes that range from 1 through 8000 bytes. The values of this data type are represented in hexadecimal-encoded Unicode string format, as follows.

  
 Binary = 32000OCTET

For example, 0x56 => "56". Because "56" is in Unicode, the end result is 4 OCTET for every binary byte value. The representation does not require the 0x prefix.
