Description
Even though we won’t initially allow users to create tables with all possible data types through the UI, they will be able to do so manually since they have unrestricted access to their database.
That means we’ll need basic guidelines on how to display the different [data types](https://www.postgresql.org/docs/current/datatype.html) supported by Postgres.
The main questions that need to be answered for each data type are:
- Should it be displayed inline in the table?
- Should it be parsed before displaying the value?
- Should it be truncated?
- Should it be displayed in a separate modal (if over a given size)?
