It's historical :-() > Tom, this has worked, and a "\d TABLENAME" shows that the column is varchar(35). But I still have messages in my log saying: --- ERROR: value too long for type character varying(20) --- Why is this? There are no other varchar(20) columns in my DB at all, no other table. Only this column used to be 20 characters and using your command I changed it to 35. It looks alright, the column also accepts the value, but the error is logged. I'm confused. How to stop the error?
