Making it text wastes a bunch of space actually, since it's really a binary value. I tend to recommend using a bytea for storing hashes. Given that hashes are really fixed width, it'd be nice if we had a set of proper datatypes for them, perhaps not so much to avoid the 1-byte overhead from storing as a variable-length bytea, but because we could then avoid having a 7-byte hole due to padding if the hash is followed by a bigint or such. Thanks, Stephen
