Hi fellows,

I am loading a postgis Layer and then saving it to shapefile. Job gets done.
BUT, data type character varying, or character, is always set to 255 CHAR in
the shapefile.
Therefore, my dbf ends up being a huge table. Is this some bug or I am
simply doing something wrong ?

Any thoughts appreciated

The exporting procedure (save as) of qgis do this.

But if you use og2ogr (from gdal) to export from postgres to shapefile the 
string field was exactly the needed.
I test with the trunk version of gdal.

Regards,

Andrea Peri
