Hi I have a MySQL application which I am porting to Postgres. I have been asked to increase the size of a varchar column from 200 chars to 2000.
Normally, in MySQL/Oracle this is done with the alter table modify column command. How do I do this in Postgres? I have just renamed the column, created the new one, copied the data into it and dropped the renamed column. Is the only way?
