This is from the Oracle manuals
VARCHAR Datatype
The VARCHAR datatype is currently synonymous with the VARCHAR2 datatype. It
is recommended that you use VARCHAR2 rather than VARCHAR. In a future
version of Oracle7, VARCHAR might be a separate datatype used for variable
length character strings compared with different comparison semantics.
