Are you sure you're using PostgreSQL?  Cause in 8.2.4 I get:

create table foo(col1 varchar2);
ERROR:  type "varchar2" does not exist
LINE 1: create table foo(col1 varchar2);

which is what I expect.  Is this a cut and paste or did you copy this by hand.

Please cut and paste EXACTLY what you're typing and what postgresql is saying.

Also, is this in psql or some other client?
