dbDataType used to return "VARCHAR(255)" for all text columns. Updated so that it returns "VARCHAR(<max nchar>)" for text columns.

dbDataType used to return "VARCHAR(255)" for all text columns.
Updated so that it returns "VARCHAR(
n)" for text columns, wherenis the maximum value ofnchar()for that column.This used to be the default behaviour for DBI, and it seems like sensible default behaviour for RJDBC.
See this link for a discussion around why it was changed to "TEXT" in DBI. I disagree with their logic, but you may find it more compelling.
