Using Varchar2 for all columns!

342122Sep 19 2002

I have begun working with a client that defines all table columns (except dates and numbers) as VARCHAR2! They even code 1 column variables this way! Does anyone have any references on the performance/space issues of this kind of approach to database structuring?
