Hi fellows,<br>
<br>
I am loading a postgis Layer and then saving it to shapefile. Job gets done.<br>
BUT, data type character varying, or character, is always set to 255 CHAR in<br>
the shapefile.<br>
Therefore, my dbf ends up being a huge table. Is this some bug or I am<br>
simply doing something wrong ?<br>
<br>
Any thoughts appreciated<br>
<br>
<br>

<br>
The exporting procedure (save as) of qgis do this.<br>
<br>
But if you use og2ogr (from gdal) to export from postgres to shapefile the string field was exactly the needed.<br>
I test with the trunk version of gdal.<br>
<br>
Regards,<br>
