List:

Ultimately what I am trying to do is to make a varchar(5) field be a varchar(8) field — but I don't see how to do this directly. So, I thought if I created a new varchar(8) column, copied the values of the varchar(5) column into it (This all worked fine); then, renamed the varchar(5) column to 'foo' (which also worked), then I could rename the varchar(8) column to what the column name was for the original varchar(5) column — this does NOT work. Also, I would like to delete the 'foo' column, but I don't see how to do this.

Any suggestions?

Thanks,
Tom
