Is there an advantage to using Varchar over Text in SQL*Server? Let's say I have a situation where the expected limits are under 4000 bytes, so that I might be willing to force a truncation in an Edit region, if there were benefits. Is there a (performance or feature-based) reason to avoid Text? Given my VFP heritage, my inclination is to think of Text as like Memo, and use it for anything long.

TIA,

-- Randy
