Allocation of storage is the primary difference, but it won't affect how you work with the data.
The main difference you'll have to deal with is in trailing SPACEs -- CHAR stores them, VARCHAR doesn't. Which can occasionally cause confusion, in that with VARCHAR 'BOB' and 'BOB ' will test equal and LEN report the same length; you'll want to use DATALENGTH for VARCHAR -- this sort of thing bit me again this week. Sigh | :sigh:
