    Hi Ed,

    I checked the BOL article you mention, but I failed to see any mention of varying length columns taking up more space. Maybe you can quote the relevant paragraph(s)? Also, what version of Books Online are you using? (Me, I'm using the April 2006 version of SQL 2005's BOL, but I also double-checked in the online SQL 2008 version of BOL at MSDN).
