Hello,

Perhaps this issue has been resolved in higher sub-versions or in 9.1?
In summary, the issue revolves around the data type of a column being changed, 
but the data type in a dependent rule on another table does not. Does the data 
type have to be embedded in the rule?
Sorry if the issue has already been discussed. Googling it didn't seem to turn 
up anything.
Thank you for a great product anyway!
