Sorry if this question has been asked before.
I was thinking of putting an index on a field of VARCHAR(100). Does an index on ‘foo’ take up less space than an index on ‘foobar123’?
The space required will be more as the value is used for indexing.
But since it is compressed I dont think there would be a huge performance impact.
