Postgresql text datatype

Data Abstract

Hello,

When using TEXT datatype (Postgresql) in schema fields are defined as widestring(65536).
Is there a performance or bandwidth penalty when declaring fields this way?

Thanks,
Dejan

Hello

No, there won’t be any penalties, at least in .NET clients and servers.

The TEXT issue has been logged and fixed as 71737 . It was caused by the NPGSQL driver reporting the TEXT field size as -1.
