Is there any significant value to using CHAR vise VARCHAR when creating the table? I have been told that for speed use char.... I am thinking the added speed will be more than made up for by the added complexity when doing queries and reporting. Please help as I am at the whim of those who appear to the mucky, mucks to have some real world experience. I only ask this question as i have also been commanded to de-normalize my beautiful database....
Frustrated,

"If ye love wealth better than liberty, the tranquility of servitude better than the animated contest of freedom, go home from us in peace. We ask not your counsel or arms. Crouch down and lick the hands which feed you. May your chains set lightly upon you, and may posterity forget that ye were our countrymen."
~Samuel Adams
