Hi , I've seen this strange thing.

sitedb=# create table test_tb(codice char(7));
CREATE TABLE
sitedb=# insert into test_tb values('pippo');
INSERT 0 1
sitedb=# select codice || 'a'::char(1),length(codice) from test_tb
  ?column? | length
----------+--------
  pippoa   |      5
(1 row)


On the official documentation

|character(/|n|/)|,|char(/|n|/)|     fixed-length, blank padded

https://www.postgresql.org/docs/10/static/datatype-character.html


Can anyone help me?

Enrico
