What is difference between CHAR and VARCHAR2?What is the
maximum SIZE allowed for each type?

Answer Posted / roopesh kumar

Varchar2: The max. allowed length is 4000 byte default 0
i.e. nothing. This is variable length datatype. it will
take only same space as value stored.

Char: Max. permitable length 2000 byte. Default length 0.
It will store value blank padded to right side till
full length as declared.

Ex. SQL> create table fg (d varchar2);
create table fg (d varchar2)
*
ERROR at line 1:
ORA-00906: missing left parenthesis


SQL> create table fg (d char);

Table created.

SQL> desc fg
Name Null? Type
------------------------------- -------- ----
D CHAR(1)
SQL> create table cher_chk (col1 char(12));

Table created.

SQL> insert into cher_chk values ('raj');

1 row created.
SQL> select length(col1) from cher_chk
2 /

LENGTH(COL1)
