Thanks for your posts Him and Brad...
Hopefully the site administrators are hearing this... :)
Do you have any idea why they use char instead of varchar in staging/production..i dont see any spl adv of using it...i thought DBAs for all practical purposes stopped using char unless its migration from some legacy system...
any ideas ?

Chars save some space but they should only be used for fixed length fields. Varchars are better for fields like names etc.

Keep in mind, though, that most bulk loaders prefer fixed length format files, as does Quality Stage.

oops i actually asked u the same question in another thread(adv of char over varchar..)..thanks for answering..
regarding bulk loaders preferring fixed length...I am referring to EPM implementation...so everything is done using DRS stage...no bulk loaders at all..

It's not impossible that, at some future time, PeopleSoft may adopt Quality Stage as the preferred tool for name and address cleansing and, maybe, certification.
And the RTI components may end up being useful as Web services supporting the PeopleSoft application! 8)
