Sorry, this is a “black box” application, I am bound by what they give me as far as table layout, but I fully understand the rationale.  I believe this application spent its beginnings with Oracle, which explains the blanket use of VARCHAR.

storing all fields as varchar surely doesn't make:
- indicies small,
- the thing fly,
- tables small.
