Why is PG even re-writing all rows when the data type is being changed from smaller (int) to larger (bigint) type, which automatically means existing data is safe. Like, changing from varchar(30) to varchar(50) should involve no rewrite of existing rows. -- Sent via pgsql-general mailing list (pgsql-general@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-general
