Re: Inconsistency in data types

I had similar problem with 1.6 b 1, It was possible to create tables
only with "character varying", not varchar.
And problem was when trying to insert/delete from such table I got
message about "character varying" type cannot be found. I can't
reproduce this with b2 so it may be fixed?

Regards.
