Specifies the default encoding of GUID values (represented as string) used in Oracle schemas.

encoding

A value of Ansi specifies that string values should be converted to non-Unicode using the specified codepage. A value of Unicode specifies that string values should be handled with Unicode encoding. The default is Unicode.

formatSpecifier

A .NET format specifier ("N", "D", "B", "P" or "X") to describe how GUID values should be converted to string. The default value is "D" (00000000-0000-0000-0000-000000000000).

fieldLength

An integer value specifying the field length for storing GUID values. The default value is 36.

Remarks

This element can only be used in schemas mapped to Oracle databases.

With this mapping feature, you can change the default mapping details of the GUID data types for the entire schema. The feature woks similarly to <StringEncoding> element . The default behavior uses ANSI mapping.

If formatSpecifier is defined, the field lenght should be also set appropriately.
