VARCHAR2 vs. CHAR

Hello everbody,



I had heard that if I set a field to VARCHAR2(XX), XX being less than 35 or
so, that it wouldn't save any space or make a difference.  Is this correct?
And if so, should I change the fields that are VARCHAR2 and less than 35 to
CHAR(XX)?


Any comments would be appreciated.



Thanks in advance,



Roy.
