Hello,
I've found following description: "If character varying is used without
length specifier, the type accepts strings of any size. The latter is a
PostgreSQL extension."
Does this mean that "character varying without length" is equivalent to
"text" type. Are there any differences?
I noticed that ODBC driver processes the type differently from "text".
Please help!
Konstantin

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.

I have tried to send to pgsql-general twice, each time it returns error:
"Relay access denied (state 14)." Will try to post to pgsql-odbc.
Thank you!
