断断续续的烟雨给江南披上了一件白色的纱衣，这件飘若浮云，清净如水的嫁纱，迷蒙了往昔，模糊了过去。我开始在其中憧憬，永远的置身于这种氛围中，让世俗的纠缠远离。

由此可见，varchar定义的长度的单位是字符，哪怕是1个多字节字符也是1个字符，如中文和英文字母都被当作1个字符来对待。
那么varchar能够定义的最大长度是多少呢？这个和你当前所使用的字符集有关。抛开字符，其最大长度为65535字节(这是最大行大小，由所有列共享)，而放在不同的字符集下，能够定义的最大长度就会有所不同，如UTF8下是21845。据说MySQL5中varchar的长度也为字符，而MySQL4中的则为字节，未经证实，感兴趣的有环境可以自己测下。
顺便补充一下，char数据类型定义的长度也为字符，其最大长度为255。
