Hi Lars
thanks for sharing the steps. here is the link where I read that varchar would not compress. You can check the link and see if that needs to updated to show the correct information.
Best Practices for SAP HANA Data Loads.
My object table has less count so when I ran your commands, I got less data - 4493 records from my objects table. You are right -- there is no difference between char and varchar.
Where can I find more info on compression type ?
