Re: how to insert hex data into UTF-8 column?

I'm not sure what solution you drew from that thread Steve - but it seems to me that the only thing needed is to add U to the string to indicate that it is a Unicode hex string and not a character hex string. So this:

insert into repcat52 ( catnum, catname, desc, desc_utf)
values( 1, 'WAVE', x'818283F1F2F3', Ux'003100320033');

Works just fine.

do not follow why DB2 would want to translate hex data. The point of hex
is to bypass any character translation.

I'm guessing that by default it is expecting the hex values to be

EBCDIC. This works:

insert into repcat52 ( catnum, catname, desc, desc_utf)
values( 1, 'WAVE', x'818283F1F2F3',
x'F1F2F3');

I am looking to insert some multibyte UTF-8 characters. like x'C383'.
