The biggest problem with using text as a primary key or foreign key is
that text types are locale dependent, so that you might get one
behaviour on one server and another behaviour on another, depending on
configuration of the locale and the locale support on that machine.
For instance, if you have a locale that says that E and e are
equivalent, and another locale that says they aren't...
