text .vs. varchar

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Hello all,

I have a big database in which much information is stored in TEXT type
columns (I did this initially because I did not want to limit the
maximum size of the string to be stored)... but...

.. let's say I choose an upper limit (p.ex. 200) for the string sizes
and I start a fresh database with VARCHAR(200).

What tradeoffs can I expect ? disk usage ? query execution times ?

thx
Joao
