NOTE: This suggestion is for Confluence Server. Using Confluence Cloud? See the corresponding suggestion.

Therefore, it is much convenient if we could implement a schema to accept the VARCHAR2 datatype for ease of upgrading Confluence.
Snippet from Oracle documentation which recommend using VARCHAR2 over NVARCHAR2 datatype:
