"text" type is java.sql.Types.varchar not longvarchar

If you get the data type of a column defined as 'text', the driver maps this
type to java.sql.Types.VARCHAR with a column size of '-1'.

It wouldn't be better if the 'text' type, that, as its name says is not a mere
'varchar', was mapped to java.sql.Types.LONGVARCHAR?

Looks like *no* PostgreSQL type that fit into this java type, so why do it this
way?
