CHAR NCHAR
VARCHAR NVARCHAR
VARCHAR(MAX) NVARCHAR(MAX)

CHAR:-
* This Datatype is USed for Storing the character Data
* IT Allows to store upto '0 to 8000' Characters
* This Datatype is Recommended for the Fixed Length Column Values

Eg:- Gender CHAR(1) -----> ('M'/'F'/'O')---

Eg:- EmployeeName VARCHAR(100)----->'Chandra sekhar')

VARCHAR(MAX):-
* This Datatype is similar to VARCHAR Datatype. only Difference is it
will allow the Data upto 2GB.

NOTE:-
*"NCHAR,NVARCHAR,NVARCHAR(MAX)" Are similar to "CHAR,VARCHAR,VARCHAR(MAX)"
*"CHAR,VARCHAR,VARCHAR(MAX)" Allows ASCII Charaters
that includes (256 charchers) (A-z,0-9,special charchers)
*"NCHAR,NVARCHAR,NVARCHAR(MAX)" Along with ASCII values
it ALLows UNICODE values as well 'Chinese', 'Japanese','Hindi'
etc.;

---> Integer Datatype


* Allows Numbers without Decimal part.

TINYINT 1BYTE 0 To 255


SMALLINT 2BYTES -32768 To 32767
INT 4BYTES -214,74,83,648 TO 214,74,83,647
BIGINT 8BYTES

----> NUMERIC(P):-
* Allows Numbers Without Decimal Particular
* USe this Datatype When the Values is based on the Number of Digits
* Allow Numbers upto 38 Characters
Eg:- BankAccNumber NUMERIC(11)-- Allows numbers upto 11 digits
09916786161 ------> VALID (As length is 11 digits it is
valid)
099167 ------> VALID (As Length is less than 11
digits it is invalid)
099167861611------> INVALID (As Length is More than 11
digits it is invalid)
B9916786161------> INVALID (Even though length is 11
digits it is invalid

because it contains character 'B')

----> NUMERIC(P,S):-

* Differnt types of Binary datatypes are :
1)Binary --------> Allows upto o-8000 Bytes
2)VARBiary --------> Allows upto 0-8000 Bytes ( Extra
