Description

From the beginning Empire-db used the data type "TEXT" to declare columns of type VARCHAR. However this is not very intuitive for SQL gurus and confusing for beginners.

Hence, its been long overdue to rename the DataType TEXT to VARCHAR.

Instead the type "TEXT" shoulb be marked as deprecated.
