If column type is int4 and try to change type to int2, SQL look like this: UPDATE pg_attribute SET atttypid=, atttypmod=-1 WHERE attrelid=21459::oid AND attnum=3;
and syntax error occurs. I know that int2 is not in Data type drop down list but error should be avoided in some way. Regards, Virgil ---------------------------(end of broadcast)--------------------------- TIP 5: Have you checked our extensive FAQ? http://www.postgresql.org/docs/faqs/FAQ.html
