Hi Marko, we could consider it - the only problem is that we have chosen the approach of using one column for all types of values. Most values are short numbers and using text as column type over varchar with fixed length implies a performance penalty. I am not sure how significant that overhead is with latest versions of postgresql/mysql. We could check it out. I guess you could do like Knut suggests for now and change the column type manually.
