Re: problem creating a table
The number is the maximum length of the string. It does not store all that length unless you fill them. So on VARCHAR(100) field you can put "foo" and only 3char is stored. it's nothing to do with memory actually .
You can read related documentation about VARCHAR. There're plentiful information about storage conditions and stuff.
