Am I missing something about "text" columns?

I seem not to be able to retrieve them (using php) just like varchar
or ... ones.

A simple example:

jeff=# CREATE TABLE test(
jeff(# id INTEGER,
jeff(# stuff TEXT);
CREATE

jeff=# INSERT INTO test VALUES(42, 'Something');
INSERT 64908 1

jeff=# SELECT * FROM test;
id | stuff
----+-----------
42 | Something
(1 row)

I cannot attest for PHP usage: post to the pgsql-php list for that.

btw. I could not find out how much I can put inside a text field!

For version 7.1 there is no longet a limit on the length of field of
type 'text'.

Hi,

that is exactly me!

Then I need to search on different corners for the problem here!

Thank you, anyway!

Regards,

Alex
