<div>
&gt;on creating tables with varchar(0).<br />
Curiosity overwhelms me ... what would be an example of a character value with zero characters in it? <br />
<br />
You're going to need a number that is the maximum amount of characters you forsee going into that value. <br />
For example: &nbsp;First names -15, last names-25, US Zip codes-10.<br />
<br />
Tell us the values that will go into this column, and we'll recommend an appropriate data type.

Microsoft SQL Server 2005 is a suite of relational database management system (RDBMS) products providing multi-user database access functionality.Component services include integration (SSIS), reporting (SSRS), analysis (SSAS), data quality, master data, T-SQL and performance tuning. It includes support for managing XML data and allows a database server to be exposed over web services using Tabular Data Stream (TDS) packets encapsulated within SOAP (protocol) requests.
