Hi All,
I found this in the documentation.
http://www.postgresql.org/docs/8.0/interactive/datatype-character.html
The type "char" (note the quotes) is different
from char(1)in that it only uses one byte of
storage. It is internally used in the system
catalogs as a poor-man's enumeration type.
Is this a SQL standard data type? Can I expect this type
to be supported in PostgreSQL 'forever'? I need an enum
type and obviously this works. At the moment I am not
faced with an imminent port but I hate to back myself into
a corner if I do not have to.
