More on Order by - Mailing list pgsql-hackers

Hi All

I have discovered that when I use a table like this

create table whois (acol name);

and insert a few rows, the order by clause works correctly.

I dug into the database init stuff to find that the table pg_class column
relname is where the pg_tables column tablename comes from. That column is
defined as a 'name' datatype.

So what is difference between a "name" and a char(10)???
