Specifies that the display of Sybase IQ binary columns is consistent with the display of Adaptive Server Enterprise binary columns.
DBA permissions are not required to set this option. Can be set temporary for an individual connection or for the PUBLIC group. Takes effect immediately.
ASE_BINARY_DISPLAY affects the output of the SELECT statement.
This option affects only columns in the IQ store. It does not affect variables, catalog store columns or SQL Anywhere columns. When this option is ON, Sybase IQ displays the column in readable ASCII format; for example, 0x1234567890abcdef. When this option is OFF, Sybase IQ displays the column as binary output (not ASCII).
Set ASE_BINARY_DISPLAY OFF to support bulk copy operations on binary data types. Sybase IQ supports bulk loading of remote data via the LOAD TABLE USING CLIENT FILE statement.
