Hi, I am running postgres 9.2.4 and 1 of my columns (column name is old_field) is type json. When I select from this table, I get the following sample data
select old_field from table1; [], ['a', 'b'] ['a'] [] How do I change the data type from json to text[]? I have tried alter table table1 add column new_field text[] default '{}'::text[]" UPDATE table1 SET new_field = {old_field} where old_field is not null" Questions: 1) how to I change the data type from json to text[] 2) how to I select rows that has data and not [], thanks -m
