Hello,

Since new 1.6 beta there is no option to export database schema with
"character varying" as "varchar". Wasn't there such option in 1.5?
It's removed now?

Why it's not possible to use varchar in pgadmn dialogs anymore?

Another annoying this is in Create table - >ADd Column dialog you
cannot just type the desired datatype anymore, you're constricted to
nearest match pgadmin finds for you.
For example it's not possible to have "bigserial" datatype right away.
After you type "big" it inserts bigint and you can't change it. The
only way is to select it form list every time. (List is huge and not
alphabetically sorted so you have to hunt for required datatype almost
for every field)

Thanks.
