VARCHAR2 (Bytes) vs Varchar2(Char)

user13117585Jan 25 2011 — edited Jan 25 2011
Hello,

I still have another question about VARCHAR2 datatypes.
I have two table with almost the same definition... Except that some fields are defined with BYTES instead of CHAR for the VARCHAR2 datatype.

I was wondering how can I be sure that I can move data between those two tables without having length problems? Is this dependent of the database language?

Thanks
