Hello there
Mysql documentation says the following: "values are stored using only as many characters as are needed, plus one byte to record the length. Values are not padded; instead, trailing spaces are removed when values are stored." So, then would there be anything wrong with making all my varchar's up to 255. That is defining most of my fields to be varchar(255) even when i know they may only go 100?
