什么是字节序?
字节序(Endian)是多字节数据类型在内存中的存储方式。换句话说,它决定了数据的字节顺序。有两种字节序,小字节序(Little Endian)和大字节序(Big Endian)。
小字节序
数据先存储小端。也就是说,第一个字节是最大的。
另外一种翻译:将低序字节存储在起始地址。
大字节序
数据先存储大端。即第一个字节是最小的。
另外一种翻译:高序字节存储在起始地址。
例如:
假设一个整数存储为4个字节(32位),那么一个值为0x01234567(十进制表示)的变量将以0x01、0x23、0x45、0x67的形式存储。在具有大端的系统中,此数据按此顺序存储,而在小端系统中,它以相反的顺序存储。
Little Endian 和 Big Endian 的区别
下图显示了大端和小端的区别。
在 Oracle 数据库中,字节序格式由其工作环境中的字节序信息决定。数据库中的字节序格式告诉我们相关数据库可以移动到哪些环境。在不同的端序环境之间使用常规方法移动数据库是不可能的。例如,您不能用Data Guard 将数据库从 Little Endian系统传输到具有Big Endian的系统。
您可以用以下SQL查看数据库中的当前字节序格式。
SQL> select name,platform_id,platform_name from v$database;
NAME PLATFORM_ID PLATFORM_NAME
