!!! note "VARCHAR / VARBINARY overhead"

For VARCHAR and VARBINARY data types, an additional 1 byte is required if the size is less than 256 bytes. If the size is 256 bytes or greater, 2 additional bytes are required.

Memory allocation is performed in groups of 4 bytes. For example, a VARBINARY(100) requires 104 bytes of memory:

- 100 bytes for the data itself
- 1 byte of overhead
- Total = 101 bytes

Since memory is allocated in 4-byte groups, storing 101 bytes requires 26 groups (26 × 4 = 104 bytes) of allocated memory.


#### Pre-insert schema validation for online feature groups
For online enabled feature groups, the dataframe to be ingested needs to adhere to the online schema definitions. The input dataframe is validated for schema checks accordingly.
