It has been brought up in the [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list, buy the developers.

The reason given is that "varchar(x)" checks to make sure the data is not larger than 'x' bytes, but "text" does not.

If the application handles the data size constraints there is no reason for the database to check again.
