> Key: EMPIREDB-289
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/EMPIREDB-289
> Project: Empire-DB
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: Core
> Reporter: Rainer Döbele
> Assignee: Rainer Döbele
> Priority: Major
>
> From the beginning Empire-db used the data type "TEXT" to declare columns of
> type VARCHAR. However this is not very intuitive for SQL gurus and confusing
> for beginners.
> Hence, its been long overdue to rename the DataType TEXT to VARCHAR.
> Instead the type "TEXT" shoulb be marked as deprecated.
