Char is fixed length, while Varchar is variable length.
CREATE TABLE `test`.`users` ( `id` INT NOT NULL auto_increment , `name` VARCHAR( 20 ) NOT NULL , `password` VARCHAR( 20 ) NOT NULL , `email` VARCHAR( 20 ) NOT NULL , PRIMARY KEY ( `id` ) )
That is text where we put only character type value and that is varchar where we put all data type value
The difference between varchar and nvarchardatatypes is that Nvarchar stores UNICODE data. If you have requirements to store UNICODE or multilingual data, nvarcharis your choice. Varchar stores ASCII data and should be your data type of choice for normal use.

Here's a SQL statement to create a pet_owner table: CREATE TABLE pet_owner ( owner_id INT PRIMARY KEY AUTO_INCREMENT, name VARCHAR(100) NOT NULL, email VARCHAR(100) UNIQUE NOT NULL, phone VARCHAR(15), address VARCHAR(255) ); In this table, owner_id is an INT and serves as the primary key with AUTO_INCREMENT to ensure unique identification for each pet owner. The name is a VARCHAR(100) to store the owner's name, while email is also a VARCHAR(100) but marked UNIQUE to prevent duplicate entries. The phone and address fields are optional and defined with appropriate data types to accommodate typical lengths for such information.
Varchar in SQL means string in PHP.
Varchar cuts off trailing spaces if given a shorter word than its declared length, while char does not. Char will pad spaces after it if given a shorter word.
Have a separate field in your database and allocate the post accordingly. For eg. $query = mysql_query("CREATE TABLE IF NOT EXISTS Login ( Username varchar(12) NOT NULL Primary Key, Password varchar(12) NOT NULL, Post varchar(8), // Add more fields to your liking )"); For post allocate as admin, supervisor, etc
CREATE PROCEDURE SP_MENUMASTER_UPDATE( @PARENT_ID INT(3) ,@MENU_NAME VARCHAR(100) ,@UR VARCHAR(100) ,@USR VARCHAR(255) ,@I_D INT(3) ,@ifvalue VARCHAR(50) ) AS BEGIN CASE ifvalue WHEN "newuser" THEN UPDATE MENUMASTER SET USER=USR WHERE ID=I_D; ELSE UPDATE MENUMASTER SET PARENTID=PARENT_ID,MENUNAME=MENU_NAME,URL=UR WHERE ID=I_D; END CASE; END
In SQL relational databases, the VARCHAR data type is used to store variable-length strings. It can hold a sequence of characters with a specified maximum length, allowing for efficient storage by only using as much space as needed for the actual string length. The maximum length can typically be defined when creating the column, for example, VARCHAR(255) allows for strings up to 255 characters long. This flexibility makes VARCHAR a popular choice for storing textual data.
The former is for strings, the later is for numbers (integers).
