Hello,

Try the following query:
create table essai(
       ID char(12) not null,
    primary key (id)
   );

The definition pane displays no lenght:
CREATE TABLE "essai" (
   "id" bpchar NOT NULL,
   CONSTRAINT "essai_pkey" PRIMARY KEY ("id")
);

The property editor show the correct column lenght.

Cheers,
Jean-Michel

This should be fixed now. Char columns get converted to bpchar in
PostgreSQL, but you can't specify a length for bpchar!

All columns will now display correctly as char(n).

Hello my friend,

The only thing we can trust is plain 'source code' not PostgreSQL derived
or user logging code.
