* stage: Design decision needed => Accepted Comment: We should do this. Postgres, at least, has no performance or storage space penalty for using `varchar` over `varchar(n)` -- the length requirement is basically a constraint, that's all. I imagine other modern DBs are similar, but even if not it's still a good idea to let users make the call, not do it unilaterally. -- Ticket URL: <https://code.djangoproject.com/ticket/14094#comment:5> Django <https://code.djangoproject.com/> The Web framework for perfectionists with deadlines. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Django updates" group.
