Home -> Community -> Usenet -> c.d.o.misc -> Char versus VarChar(2)
Is there a specific overhead associated with varchar or varchar2 which would mean that using char instead would be more efficient for short strings? ie. Are things like varchar2(3) or varchar2(5) sensible/preferable to char(3) or char(5)?
Thanks,
