varchar vs nvarchar
varchar: - is an abbreviation for variable-length character string.
This in turn limits the maximum size of a VARCHAR to 8,000 bytes.
Syntax: - field_name varchar(50);
nvarchar: - The "N" in NVARCHAR means uNicode.
NVARCHAR is nothing more than a VARCHAR that supports two-byte characters.
The most common use is to store character data that is a mixture of English and non-English symbols(other languages' characters) - such as English and Hindi.
Syntax: - field_name nvarchar(50);
