I am trying to determine when it is best to use
varchar and when it is appropriate to use tinytext. I
have looked at the manual and have read the difference
between them but would like to have an understanding
of this in more practical, real-life terms.
Is a space between characters considered a character
in both column types or does one handle it
differently?
When I use a varchar I have to define its maximum
length. I don't have to declare max length in
tinytext. does this make a difference when it comes to
storage space?
Thanks,
Karen McAdams
