Hmm.. ok.
Just I usually prefer using fixed field lengths as queries tend to be
significantly faster. Also, you can use them in indexes.
I find it strange that that would be the case...
And it leads me to wonder how you would represent an ending "space" in a
field,
for example
insert into names values(1,'This is a space ');
for perhaps some sort of formatting or something otherwise.
I'll try and find something in the postgres documentation to disable this
then I guess.

I'm not a JDBC expert, but this is pretty much the way I'd expect it to
work. If you a have fixed length field, then the field should return
that many characters. The varchar implies it's variable length, so
trailing spaces would then not be included.
