When you configure an access service for an SJIS or EUCJIS character set, the access service performs double-byte character set (DBCS) translation on character parameters, including those related to graphic columns. The access service translates the contents of graphic columns to Kanji characters.
When you configure an access service for a single-byte character set (SBCS) code page, parameters related to graphic columns must be described as binary types. The access service stores binary data in the column without translation and returns the data exactly as it was sent. The number of bytes of data supplied for a binary parameter must be even.
