â¢ Although char and varchar are character data fields, char is a fixed length data field and varchar is a variable size data field. â¢ Char can store only fixed size non-Unicode string characters, but varchar can store variable sizes of strings.
varchar data can be of a specified maximum length of characters, for example, varchar(6) indicates that this data type can store a maximum of six characters; or it can be of the form varchar(max), which increases the maximum number of characters that can be stored by this data type to 2^31.
