Hello,
I'm doing the test in PGAdmin.
Must be a bug in PGAdmim.
I'm sorry I have not tested in psql
create table txt (val text);
txt insert into values (repeat ('x', 4500));
char_length select (val) from txt;
txt insert into values (repeat ('x', 4685));
char_length select (val) from txt;
select *, length (val) val is null, (val ~ 'x') from txt;
Thank you.
