"text is PostgreSQL's native string data type, in that most built-in functions operating on strings are declared to take or return text not character varying. For many purposes, character varying acts as though it were a domain over text."
Thanks. It seems like I should generally prefer to use text over varchar. (I've read advice along those lines elsewhere.)
When you did the dump/restore cycles where they from and to the same Postgres version/instance?
Yes. In the example I provided, that was all from the same Postgres 16.4 instance.
