WE have a db with a column/field of type "character varying" set to a
length of 1000. A user attempted to enter data into this column/field
breached the 1000 limit. When the user submitted the form the data was
not entered into the database and no error or message was displayed.

Is there a way to have postgresql let the user no the entry attempt was
declined? What is the best way to handle these situations?

Marc
