EXAMPLES

While Xpand accepts the CHARACTER data type on table create, it is silently replaced with CHAR:

CREATE TABLE character_example (
   example CHARACTER(10)
);
SHOW CREATE TABLE character_example\G
*************************** 1. row ***************************
       Table: character_example
Create Table: CREATE TABLE `character_example` (
  `example` char(10) CHARACTER SET utf8
) CHARACTER SET utf8 /*$ SLICES=3 */
