On page 136 of The Firebird Book Second Edition:
"NCHAR VARYING(n) ..., is a specialized implementation of VARCHAR(n) that is
pre-defined with ISO8859_1 as its character set attribute"
"NCHAR VARYING(n) ..., is a specialized implementation of VARCHAR(n) that is
pre-defined with ISO8859_1 as its character set attribute"
Are there any performance advantages of using nchar varying instead of varchar ?
If not are there any other advantages in addition to the pre-defined ISO8859_1 charset ?
I am using firebird 3.0.1 on Windows 10.
Thank you for your attention.
