Subject: [NOVICE] Silly Question about varchar(n)
Date sent: Wed, 29 Jan 2003 17:03:23 +1100
No maximum
(practically, there may be a limit, but I have never exceeded it)
if you use varchar()
otherwise specifed by number, e g varchar(100)
For extra safety and speed use text datatype,
though this may cause odbc hiccups if that is part of your plans
