I guess I was missing the word "TYPE". This won't affect my "not null" on the column right? Also, is there a safe and fast way of doing this on a live database, without bringing it down if possible? This is an indexed column so I wonder if that will slow up the process quite a bit? -- Sent via pgsql-general mailing list (pgsql-general@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-general
