[Qgis-user] DB Manager and Varchar field lengths

[James Stott]

Hi all,

 

Does anyone know why DB Manager is reporting that my varchar fields are
4 characters longer than they actually are?

 

When I create a table in DB manager (say as 6 length) it reports that it
is 10. Then if I look at the table in PGAdmin it says 6 length, if I try
and enter more data in the text field it limits me to 6 characters.

 

Should I report a bug or is it just me that sees this behaviour?
