Postgresql 插入数据时自动截取一定长度的字符串

CREATE TABLE test (c varchar(5));
			

现在开始插入数据库，每次增加一个长度

			
test=> INSERT INTO test VALUES ('1');
INSERT 0 1
test=> INSERT INTO test VALUES ('12');
INSERT 0 1
test=> INSERT INTO test VALUES ('123');
INSERT 0 1
test=> INSERT INTO test VALUES ('1234');
INSERT 0 1
test=> INSERT INTO test VALUES ('12345');
INSERT 0 1
test=> INSERT INTO test VALUES ('123456');
ERROR:  value too long for type character varying(5)
test=> INSERT INTO test VALUES ('1234567');
ERROR:  value too long for type character varying(5)
test=>
			
			

超出长度会提示 ERROR: value too long for type character varying(5)

通过 ::varchar(5) 截取5前五个字符，后面抛弃

			
test=> INSERT INTO test VALUES ('123456'::varchar(5));
INSERT 0 1
test=> INSERT INTO test VALUES ('1234567'::varchar(5));
INSERT 0 1
test=> INSERT INTO test VALUES ('12345678'::varchar(5));
INSERT 0 1
			
			

超过的部分被自动截取

			
test=> select * from test;
   c
-------
 1
 12
 123
 1234
 12345
 12345
 12345
