thanks to all for the respones. The above seems a prudent way to go in my future. My assumption is that converting varchar(n) to text would still force a re-write of the table? i.e. currently there's no officially 'safe' way to convert the field type w/o incurring a table re-write. -- Sent via pgsql-general mailing list (pgsql-general@postgresql.org) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-general
