Another source for quote of the week.
Although the author is unfair emphasizing that DBA has to be aware char
vs varchar2 difference. The character string types in SQL are just
plain silly. For how long ordinary programming languages have [a
single] type String [with unlimited bounds] already? Also when did you
design a database schema with char datatype last time? In a word, there
is not a single advantage of char over varchar2. Therefore, char is not
even worth mentioned, and should just be deprecated: there are to many
really important things on DBA plate.
