I've noticed when I set a field to char, it takes up lots of space over varchar:
iamunix=# SELECT * FROM music;
id | band | album | date |
asin | label
----+-------------------+--------------------------+------------+----------------------------------------------------+--------------
1 | Dance Gavin Dance | Downtown Battle Mountain | 2007-05-15 |
B000OQF4PQ | Rise Records
(1 row)
iamunix=# SELECT * FROM music;
id | band | album | date |
asin | label
----+-------------------+--------------------------+------------+------------+--------------
1 | Dance Gavin Dance | Downtown Battle Mountain | 2007-05-15 |
B000OQF4PQ | Rise Records
(1 row)
I don't know how well it will show in plain text via email but does
anyone know why the field display width is wasted with so much white
space when set to char?
