| Jon writes "This may be very simple, but it has not been able to be answered by anyone at my company...so here's the issue. I have a table containing a varchar field of size 4. I assumed this meant that it will only accept a 4 digit number. However, I have entered a 5 digit number into this field and it was accepted. I have been told that it may have something to do with the database accepting information in the hexadecimal format and, since I am not familiar with that format, I was curious as to whether or not that was the case. At any rate, my question is why does a varchar field of size 4 accept a 5 digit number?" |
