I am using MySql with InnoDB and have just discovered that tables created using char types show up as varchars when I type, describe tableName. Previously, I was using MyIsam tables and did not see char types being changed to varchars so I am a bit puzzled.
This is true for almost all of the tables I've created, only a couple of tables retained the char type as specified in my create table script. Is this documented behavior? I haven't been using MySql very long and haven't seen it mentioned anywhere. --Michael __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Sign up for SBC Yahoo!
