Обсуждение: varchar[] !?

Hi

When I try to create a new column with the varchar datatype I obtain a 
"varchar[]" type, and I cannot specify the max limit.  What is the problem?

I am using:
psql (PostgreSQL) 7.4.2
pgadmin 1.0.2
Debian (unstable) Linux 2.4.18

My mistake, there are two different types "varchar" and "varchar[]". I want
one and I was using the other.

You are going VARCHAR[n] instead of the correct VARCHAR(n)

Yes, but when I try to choose the type in the types-menu the options that I
have are all with square brackets "[]" and not with "()"

Use varchar (varchar[] is the array version) and fill the length field.
