The docs say that the text type is the "Best choice" of the character data
types. It was always my understanding that the text type was stored else-
where in the database and a pointer to it was stored in the actual table.
Does PostgreSQL do this or is a more efficient way been found? It seems
that it'd be too expensive to store it elsewhere. I'm making some changes
to a table and wanted to optomize it (varchar vs text).
