         - According to the docs https://www.postgresql.org/docs/9.1/datatype-character.html this is pretty efficient
         - I don't like the idea of an outside table holding all custom values, it would be hammered pretty hard, this way the data stays with it's record
         - The server doesn't validate it or anything, just stores what the client provides and retrieves what the client needs and the client co-erces the value to the correct type
+        - If a user changes the underlying objects type then the client must handle discrepencies and attempt to fix it.
+            - So the client end must handle adapting the value if the type changes
