I have seen people using VARCHAR for storing everything (dates, money, floats)! Their excuse? Globalization/Internationalization.
How can anyone claim that storing a date as the string "09/01/2001" is better for globalization? :crazy: If you're using a US culture, that's "1st September 2001"; in most other cultures, it's "9th January 2001".
