Subject: Picking field types
Date: Tue, 31 Jan 1995 10:31:40 -0500
Message-ID: <9501311031.ZM5557@viper> (raw)
Can some one offer some advice or point me to some information on the
following.
I need a field type that is 10 characters, what is the best type to use:
1) a char16
2) text
3) an array of 10 chars
4) define my own type char10
I'm tempted to go with text for everything, are there performance reasons why
this would be a bad idea?
