          <pre>This might be something I should know. I have a point layer in
postgres/postgis. It has three fields: name (varchar), CID ( primary key),
and one called spacing (char).

I tried to symbolize the point layer on the spacing attribute - it wouldn't.
I made another field in postgis and called it spacing1 and made it varchar
and it was no problem at all. Will QGIS not catergorically symbolize on a
char field in postgis? Not a big deal as I can work around it - just curious
though.
