This question would be more appropriate for pgsql-general or maybe pgsql-odbc, since it is not a question about the development of PostgreSQL. character varying and text are different types, but there's no real difference between them. I can't speak to what the ODBC driver does. ...Robert -- Sent via pgsql-hackers mailing list (pgsql-hackers@postgresql.org) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-hackers
