Subject: retrieving varchar size

Hello,
I was wondering if it would be possible, in the Postgres backend, to
send back the defined column size for the varchar data type (and
possibly the char() type, i.e., bpchar) on a query? Currently, it just
sends back -1 for the size, which makes it difficult in the frontend
(i.e., odbc driver) to determine what the size of the column is.
Thank you,
Byron
