Hi, I'm a (more than a) bit confuse as to the diference between TEXT and varchar data-types.
AFAIK, varchar will have a max limit char of, if not mistaken ~65k? But for TEXT, it's more like a BLOB and there's supposed to be no limit? Anyhow, searching the archives (in my mail client - no internet at the moment), I see references that when I use TEXT, I will create TOAST tables which will have them lie _outside_ of my main data table. I'm not sure what is the implications or etc. I'm wondering if I should change my current usage of TEXT to varchar. the columns will have data like NULL:NULL:FLE:NULL:FLE:NULL:FLE:FLE I initially chose TEXT, (for X reasons) and now since I found out about the TOAST tables, (oh.. i didn't like the TOAST tables cos it's created _not_ in my usual raidspace, but in my OS drive), I'm trying to determine if I need to change the data-type. comments?
