Hi,

In various create table statements char columns are converted to varchar.. 
I was wondering why this was happening. Here's an example:

CREATE TABLE realtors(name VARCHAR(255) not null, address VARCHAR(255) not 
null, city VARCHAR(255) not null, state CHAR(2) not null, country CHAR(2) 
not null, zip CHAR(5) not null, phone VARCHAR(50) not null, cell 
VARCHAR(50) not null, fax VARCHAR(50) not null, nvio VARCHAR(25) not null, 
estlead CHAR(5) not null, servicearea VARCHAR(255) not null);
Query OK, 0 rows affected (0.11 sec)

Here, zip and estlead have been converted to varchar(5).


Thanks.
Alec
