Hello,<br />I've found following description: "If character varying is used without length specifier, the type accepts
stringsof any size. The latter is a PostgreSQL extension."<br /><br />Does this mean that "character varying without
length"is equivalent to "text" type. Are there any differences?<br /><br />I noticed that ODBC driver processes the
typedifferently from "text".<br /><br />Please help!<br />Konstantin<br /><br /><br />
