title: Can laravel schema builder create CHAR column?
body: <p>Sorry for the annoying question, but I didn't find the way to create a table with a CHAR column. I want CHAR, not VARCHAR!</p>
  
  <p>In the documentation, they don't write anything about CHAR type columns:
  <a href="http://laravel.com/docs/database/schema" rel="nofollow">http://laravel.com/docs/database/schema</a></p>
  
  <p>What if I want a CHAR(6) type column where only 6 char long strings are allowed, must I create a varchar column and forbid in the model to be shorter or longer than 6 char?</p>
