Hi,
   
    while retrieving values from columns of datatype VARCHAR thru c programming interface we encounter the following problem.
 
    The retrieving values are having length not equal to the length of the string stored in it. The value's length is equal to the columns width and  are padded with blank space. It's just opposite to the behaviour of VARCHAR.
 
   For example,
      Consider a table with column name  NAME and datatype VARCHAR(50).
      We are inserting the value 'Example' into the table.
      While retrieving this value thru programming interface its length is 52 and the string is padded with blank spaces.
 
regards,
Pavithra
