I found this information when was having problem with getting string values with trailing spaces from the database. In my case all the trailing spaces were trimmed. I did search in the internet and found that many people had the same issue and one of responses was that the core just doesn't distinguish between char and varchar types. I was wondering if it affects physical storage of the value. Best regards.
