<br>
I have a question regarding performance of certain datatypes:<br>
<br>
I have a field where I will store my clients phone numbers. I know that
this field will never exceed 15 characters, and I will store only
numbers here (no dashes, dots, etc...), so I was wondering:<br>
<br>
Wich type is faster: NUMERIC(15,0) or VARCHAR(15)? Are there any
storage differences between them?<br>
<br>
TIA,<br>
