Is there a quick and easy way to determine the maximum used length of a
varchar column? I've built
Many thanks. Worked fine. Sadly, almost every one of the varchar columns I
checked return near the max length. Is there still a huge performance
penalty, if most of the rows come close to hitting the max of the defined
varchar length? I suppose it depends on your data, and how you use it.
