what are the differences between char and nchar? : Sql dba..

Answer / Akshita Mishra

Both CHAR and NCHAR are used to store strings in SQL DBA, but they differ in how they handle multi-byte characters:

- CHAR stores single-byte characters only (ASCII, ISO-8859-1, etc.). It pads spaces for fixed length.
- NCHAR stores Unicode characters and is intended to be used with national character sets. It also has a fixed length but does not pad spaces.
