re: "Note: there is also NCHAR/NATIONAL CHAR[ACTER] type that seems to support the "BINARY" attribute, but they are missed in the CREATE TABLE syntax documentation." Those are lesser-used synonyms documented in the data types chapter. We don't clutter the CREATE TABLE syntax with all the data type synonyms.

Gleb, how would you modify the syntax to include the BINARY attribute where you indicate? Something like this? [CHARACTER SET charset_name | BINARY]
