    Description

      NOTE: This suggestion is for Confluence Cloud. Using Confluence Server? See the corresponding suggestion.

      Confluence upgrade task will failed if the pre-upgrade Oracle DB dialect uses column data types that do not support Unicode (VARCHAR data type). This will need a modification of the database column that uses VARCHAR2 datatype to NVARCHAR2 datatype as per knowledge base article below:

      Therefore, it is much convenient if we could implement a schema to accept the VARCHAR2 datatype for ease of upgrading Confluence.

      Snippet from Oracle documentation which recommend using VARCHAR2 over NVARCHAR2 datatype:
