   Hello Mark,
   
   Thanks for you quick response.
   
   I understand the difference between CHAR and VARCHAR now.
   
   But, what is the difference between VARCHAR and TEXT ?
   
   
   Kind regards

   Text fields have no explicit upper limit.  They are kinda like memo
   fields in Access, except you *can* index them in PostgreSQL.
