Question Optimzing Oracle table format

In MySQL, there is a significant performance gain when tables only contain fields with a fixed length - no varchars, for example. Now my question is: is that the same with Oracle? Is it worth the effort to eliminate all varchar fields from an Oracle table with lots of rows and move them to another table, or doesn't that have any effect with Oracle tables?

No, not in Oracle. In fact using all CHAR fields will just use up a lot of disk space.
