Re: Where is the char and varchar length in pg_catalog for function input variables

This is what I meant to post

drop table test_table;
create table test_table
(
    column1 char(20),
    column2 varchar(40)
) without oids;


drop function test1(char(10), varchar(20));
create or replace function test1(c1 char(10), c2 varchar(20))
returns void as
$$
BEGIN
insert into test_table values ($1, $2);
END
$$
language plpgsql

select
test1('12345678900123456789','ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ0123456789ABCD')

select * from test_table;
12345678900123456789, ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ0123456789ABCD


Just showing that it does indeed not use the length in at all, and this just
seems wrong. I can definetly see situations where someone would put a length
on a in put var and get an an unexpected result, like the one above.
