For SQL Server, the porting sets 8.4b and later will, by default, use the SQL Server varchar type for storing string information. This can cause quite a decrease on data storage usages. For companies that have an existing Baan 5.0 or LN 6.1 installation that want to move to 8.4b or later, it is highly recommended to check the technical notes of the porting set. The technical notes provide information about how to change existing tables to use varchar instead of char type.
