If I remember right, the thing is not in "casting" Memo to some other data 
type, but to force controls to show contest of "Memo". I forgot how I did 
it(it was before 2 Years).
And Yes, You are right - this has nothing to do with PostgreSQL.

Hi all,

Is there a way to "cast" the text datatype fields in order to
not be interpreted as Memo fields in some Delphi data-aware
components? specifically DbGrids ?   Should I tweak the
ODBC driver config ? or it is something related to the
client side programming tool? (delphi in this case).

regards

-Fernando

I think anything longer than some number, either 256 or 512, is
interpreted as memo datatype, in which case you could truncate the excess
part of the field, and then if necessary cast as varchar.
