The "char" datatype in MS SQL 6.0 has a limit of 255 characters. I need
a field that can hold more like 500 characters. There is a "text"
datatype in MS SQL 6.0, but the documentation about this datatype is
unclear to me.
I mostly need to know, what is the difference between the
"text" datatype and the "char" datatype? Does the "text" field have
a limit to the number of characters it can hold? Is there any
disadvantage to using the "text" datatype?
thanks much,
Bob
