Byte Varying Data Types
The byte varying data type is a variable length data type. The actual length of the binary data is stored with the binary data, and, unlike the byte data type, the data is not padded to its declared length. The minimum length of a byte varying column is 1 byte, and the maximum length is limited by the maximum row width configured but not exceeding 32,000.
