Unfortunately our test envirmont and QA does not cover Postgres yet, hopefully we will be able to add that for Fuji (4.4).

As for the specific issue, I guess you would need to change these to become TEXT fields.

SQL for changing them would be something like:

ALTER TABLE ezcontentclass RENAME COLUMN serialized_description_list TO sdl_tmp;
ALTER TABLE ezcontentclass ADD COLUMN serialized_description_list TEXT;
ALTER TABLE ezcontentclass ALTER serialized_description_list SET DEFAULT NULL;
UPDATE ezcontentclass SET serialized_description_list=sdl_tmp;
ALTER TABLE ezcontentclass DROP COLUMN sdl_tmp;

ALTER TABLE ezcontentclass_attribute RENAME COLUMN serialized_data_text TO sdt_tmp;
ALTER TABLE ezcontentclass_attribute ADD COLUMN serialized_data_text TEXT;
ALTER TABLE ezcontentclass_attribute ALTER serialized_data_text SET DEFAULT NULL;
UPDATE ezcontentclass_attribute SET serialized_data_text=sdt_tmp;
ALTER TABLE ezcontentclass_attribute DROP COLUMN sdt_tmp;

ALTER TABLE ezcontentclass_attribute RENAME COLUMN serialized_description_list TO sdl_tmp;
ALTER TABLE ezcontentclass_attribute ADD COLUMN serialized_description_list TEXT;
ALTER TABLE ezcontentclass_attribute ALTER serialized_description_list SET DEFAULT NULL;
UPDATE ezcontentclass_attribute SET serialized_description_list=sdl_tmp;
ALTER TABLE ezcontentclass_attribute DROP COLUMN sdl_tmp;

And diff for sql update file something like:
