Support for postgres varchar of varying length as key
See original GitHub issueHey there! We are looking to use data-diff for verifying some of our data pipelines. While testing it out, we noticed that our postgres varchar fields can not be used as keys. The error for that is below.
WARNING:database:Mixed Alphanum lengths detected in column *********, disabling Alphanum support.
NotImplementedError: Cannot use column of type Text() as a key
Here are some examples of the keys being sampled
x99999m
x9990037
x99_99943z1
Is it possible to add support for varchars with variable length as keys, if so do you have an estimate for the difficulty of adding it?
