Re: varchar error

Hello, I just have this:

 

CREATE TABLE test (
    mytext varchar(5)
) WITHOUT OIDS;

 

If I put a string with more than 5 chars in mytext, I receive an error, regarding the wrong lenght of the string.

 

In MySQL I know that the string is automatically reduced to the number of char allowed by the column, even if I insert a longer string.

 

I don't want to do this from PHP, and I was wandering how this can be done in PostreSQL? Maybe in CREATE TABLE definition?

 

Cheers, Raul.
