In sql varchar(variable character) this mssql/mysql field is a set of characters a data on how much should be stored in a database
Code:
varchar(50) allows up to only 50 characters
varchar(20) allows up to only 20 characters
In other words how many letters you may use example below
Code:
20 Characters
gunz shall never die
Code:
50 Characters
gunz shall never die as long as pros keep working
Notice: a space will still count as a character and this is needed to know if you decide to put a maxlength on your server or website for security reasons or you hate long names
