Additional variable field considerations


This topic describes additional considerations for variable-length fields.

For VARCHAR, VARGRAPHIC, and VARBINARY data types, a two-byte length precedes the data. For VARCHAR and VARBINARY, the length is the number of single-byte characters. For VARGRAPHIC, the length is the number of double-byte characters. The length does not include the two length bytes.
