Property Value
A Boolean value that specifies whether the user-defined data type is variable in length. If True, the user-defined data type represents a data type that can vary in length, such as varchar(4). If False (default), the user-defined data type represents a data type that cannot vary in length, such as char(4). A 2-character value retrieved from a user-defined data type defined as varchar(4) is returned as 2 characters. However, the same value retrieved from a user-defined data type type defined as char(4) is padded and returned as 4 characters.
