It's documented at least twice in the manual. See the section "The CHAR and VARCHAR Types": http://www.mysql.com/doc/en/CHAR.html , and also "Column Type Storage Requirements": http://www.mysql.com/doc/en/Storage_requirements.html -- Dan Nelson [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- MySQL General Mailing List For list archives: http://lists.mysql.com/mysql To unsubscribe: http://lists.mysql.com/[EMAIL PROTECTED]
