Postgres 7.1.* and before I believe would silently truncate values to
fit into their destination fields during insert/update, but 7.2.* gives
an error when values are too long. I realize the new behavior is
probably more correct, but I grew accustom to the old behavior and now
have queries that rely on that behavior, for better or worse. I don't
see a way to get pgsql to use the old behavior. Am I missing it or is
it really not there?
