Answer / dinesh goyal

char is used for fixed length memory storage whereas varchar
is used for variable lenght memory storage.
Fox Example if we have char(10) then we can store 10 bit
value in it but if we store only 6 bit value in it then rest
of the 4 bit space is goes wasted. this limitation is
overcome by varchar.
In varchar if we use less space than define space the rest
of space is not wasted.

Answer / preeti singh

The char is a fixed-length character data type, the varchar
is a variable-length character data type.

Because char is a fixed-length data type, the storage size
of the char value is equal to the maximum size for this
column. Because varchar is a variable-length data type, the
storage size of the varchar value is the actual length of
the data entered, not the maximum size for this column.

You can use char when the data entries in a column are
expected to be the same size.
You can use varchar when the data entries in a column are
expected to vary considerably in size.
