I meant that I thougth that postgresql could be faster with fixed lenght fields, not postmodern, sorry... :-D
Benchmark this, before you make life hard for yourself. I seem to remember an expert telling me that fixed char columns are rarely useful anymore.
Well, I guess I'm not up to date with the latest DB development. :-)
I can still change columns to varchar, so I think I'll do just that, which will simplify things for me. Thanks again for the advice!
