Rename str to text and add string(size) type #70

Closed DavyLandman closed 4 years ago

DavyLandman commented 4 years ago

This is a refactoring of both the syntax, and the backend.

Currently str type exists, while this should be turned into text (just a text blob in a sql database).

We also decided in Athens to introduce a string(size) type, that can be mapped to varchar(size) for performance reasons.

We need to update syntax and add support for it in the backends.
