Answer / swapnil
When you use varchar data type say varchar(20),
it will reserve the space of 20 bytes even length of
passing parameter is less than 20 byte. But in varchar2, it
will release the remaining space after reserving actual
passing parameter length

Varchar2 is the oracle datatype
Varchar is not the oracle datatype but still oracle
supports it by converting it into varchar2
But it is not a good practice to use Varchar datatype
