Hi all.
One quick question. I have a doubt, should I use CHAR/VARCHAR or TEXT
data types in my database?
Two points are of most concern:
- performance
- compatibility
Is VARCHAR faster for access/storing operations than TEXT? Since it
specifies the max. amount of space, one would think that it is better...
If I should choose to migrate my data to, say, Oracle, will TEXT field
cause problems in any way? I would have to rewrite the schema
definition, which can be painful for a larger database...
Your thoughts?
Nix.
