varchar of length > 32

We are using a table with a primary key of type varchar[50].
If we try to find entries with select * from <table> where <table.key> =
'<text>';
entries with a key length of more than 32 characters are not found.
Entries with a shorter key are found. Using "Like" instead of "=" works for
varchar keys with length > 32 as well.

Does anybody know about this Problem ?
(We use PostgresQL 7.4.1)

Thanks in advance,
Christian Enklaar.

Does anyone know of a way to execute sql code from a dynamically built text field? Before beginning, let me state that I know this db architecture is built solely for frustration and I hope to make it better soon. Unfortunately, there is never a non-crucial time in which we can do an upgrade, so we are stuck for now. Point 1: There are multiple tables: students, courses, cross-reference

Greetings, I have a question. I work on some SQL2k/ASP.NET apps at work. My predacessor, who created the databases/tables seemed to have liked to use 'char' for all text fields. Is there a reason why he would have done this over using varchar? It's a minor annoyance to always have to RTRIM data and it makes directly making changes to the database more annoying (with all the pointless trailing spaces)? I usually use char for fixed...

Hello, I have a question about VARCHAR fields. Our application groups here are starting to use VARCHARs much more frequently. Even VARCHAR (2) to (9) length fields. They say this is because some of the application programs, specifically Java Beans cannot handle the spaces after the value in CHAR fields. Is anyone else seeing this trend?

Hi Everyone, I have a question about dynamically changing the length of a varchar(n) field, in case the value I'm trying to insert is too big and will give a "truncated" error, but before the error is given! i.e. Is there some kind of a way to "test" the length of the field while Inserting the value into it, and to have it automatically increase its length to the length of the value being inserted, in case the value is too big? I've...
