Well, I am using the PostgreSQL datatype "text" in this context, so that
should work. Also, why should I raise Max VarChar over the default
varchar setting of 255?

I guess what I'll do is just play around with it as someone suggested.
I really didn't know those settings were there until you asked me to
post the ODBC driver settings. I had completely overlooked them.

Thanks a bunch!
