I am using PGADMIN III v1.1.0 Windows to set up PostgreSQL tables on a
Linux Server, RedHat 9. Every time I create a character field, even just
one character wide, the PGADMIN uses EXTENDED as the default storage type.
Is this normal? I can't find anything about why this would be done in the
PostgreSQL documentation or the Internet. It seems to me it will be very
messy if every character field is in a secondary table. I would have
thought the EXTENDED would only be for very large character fields.
