Character constant expressions are treated as varchar. If they are compared with non-varchar variables or column data, the datatype precedence rules are used in the comparison (that is, the datatype with lower precedence is converted to the datatype with higher precedence). If implicit datatype conversion is not supported, you must use the convert function.
Comparison of a char expression to a varchar expression follows the datatype precedence rule; the “lower” datatype is converted to the “higher” datatype. All varchar expressions are converted to char (that is, trailing blanks are appended) for the comparison. If a unichar expression is compared to a char (varchar, nchar, nvarchar) expression, the latter is implicitly converted to unichar.
