Home -> Community -> Mailing Lists -> Oracle-L -> char vs. varchar2
Is there any overhead (ie. internal conversion) in comparing a char to a
varchar2? We found an instance where a primary key in one table is defined
as char(2) and the foreign key referencing it from another table is
varchar2(2). We are going to change it, but I'm curious what, if anything,
happens when resolving the integrity?
