Name
OCTET_LENGTH()
Synopsis
OCTET_LENGTH(string)This function returns the number of bytes contained in the given string. It does not recognize multibyte characters, so it assumes there are eight bits to a byte and one byte to a character. An octet is synonymous with byte in most contexts nowadays, so this function is an alias of LENGTH(). See the description of that function earlier in this chapter for examples of its use.
