Hi, I am converting a database to PostgreSQL. I use ODBC to create the PostgreSQL database and copy the data. The database says that it's bool implementation is char(1), just as PostgreSQL does. I can copy te data OK, but I would like to change the actual type of the column from char(1) to bool. Is that possible without copying the column to a temporary column, dropping the old column and renaming the temporary columns to the old column? I also have another table that has mac addresses stored *exactly* in the same format as PostgreSQL macaddr type that are used as primary key and dropping that key would mean a major headache. In this case I would like to be able to change the type from varchar to macaddr. TIA -- Groeten, Joost Kraaijeveld Askesis B.V.
