>>>Just out of curiosity, when should I use nvarchar as opposed to varchar?

nvarchar allows for an expanded set of characters, for example if you want
your app to be able to handle double byte characters for non latin languages
such as Chinese or Russian you would use nvarchar or ntext.

However, nvarchar does require more space to store that data, so if you are
100% certain you will NEVER need to accommodate double byte characters, then
varchar will work just fine.
