How does vargraphic compare with regard to varchar? For storing hindi language characters we need to either increase length of varchar character manifold or alternatively we can use vargraphic which treats one hindi character equivalent to 1 vargraphic. Whereas 1 hindi character needs atleast 5-6 lengths of varchar!

Hence the question that what is performance of a vargraphic data type versus a varchar? Plus how much is storage size affected because of this change?
