Philip W. Dalrymple sent the following on 8/14/2008 4:34 AM: > Postgres does not require any extra cycles to support very long text > fields, see the manuals at 8.3. Character Types. > > Tip: There are no performance differences between these three types, > apart from increased storage > size when using the blank-padded type, and a few extra cycles to check > the length when storing > into a length-constrained column. While character(n) has performance > advantages in some other > database systems, it has no such advantages in PostgreSQL. In most > situations text or character > varying should be used instead. > > This is a feature that I have always (well from 7.x where it was added) and > in general use TEXT for > all of my strings. > > Attached is a patch that I have build wrt OfBiz r685532 that adds a new field > type file that is a > copy of the postgresql types except that all of the varchar fields are > changed to text. > > I have installed this on a new copy of OfBiz and ran the system in demo/test > and it appears not to > have any problems. The only limit on this is that data dumps from such a > system may not be loadable > on a system running another fieldtype file. > > The nature of this change is very simple but if it is necessary for me to > file a copyright assigment > let me know. >
