That type's not going away anytime soon, but could we rename it to char1 or something like that? (With some sort of backward compatibility hack, like a domain named "char".) On the other hand, that might be more trouble than it's worth. Even with a domain alias, there'd be a nontrivial chance of breaking apps that look at the char columns of the system catalogs. regards, tom lane -- Sent via pgsql-general mailing list (pgsql-general@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-general
