What's wrong with TEXT type for postgres, mysql, etc? In Postgres you don't need to declare a length for varchar either.

Yeah, in fact, Postgres encourages the use of TEXT over VARCHAR. The documentation even states:

There is no performance difference among these three types, apart from increased storage space when using the blank-padded type, and a few extra CPU cycles to check the length when storing into a length-constrained column.
