I read the code and looks fine with me. jvandyk says the pgsql way is
necessary unless we want to support only 8.0

The type column of the node table is VARCHAR(16).


CCK prepends 'content-' onto its content types, leaving only 8 chars
for a descriptive "short name" of the content type. For example,
"content-shoe-size" already exceeds the limit.


This patch changes the column width to 32 characters.
