If the truncated characters or binary data consist only of spaces (x20), no exception is raised. The setting of On corresponds to ANSI/ISO SQL Standard behavior. When this option is set to Off, the exception is not raised and the character string is silently truncated.
String truncation may occur in several places. For example, using INSERT, UPDATE, CAST, or assignment to a variable may truncate a string if the declared destination type is too short. Truncation can occur for both character and binary data.
