a few more tests:
create table t1 (
id serial,
height_cm int,
height_in int generated always as (height_cm * 10)
) ;
"""
postgres=# alter table t1 alter height_cm type numeric;
ERROR: unexpected object depending on column: table t1 column height_in
"""
should i drop the column and recreate it after the fact? this seems
more annoying than the same problem with views (drop view & recreate),
specially after you implement STORED
"""
postgres=# alter table t1 alter height_in type numeric;
ERROR: found unexpected dependency type 'a'
"""
uh!?
also is interesting that in triggers, both before and after, the
column has a null. that seems reasonable in a before trigger but not
in an after trigger
"""
create function f_trg1() returns trigger as $$
begin
raise notice '%', new.height_in;
return new;
end
$$ language plpgsql;
create trigger trg1 before insert on t1
for each row execute procedure f_trg1();
postgres=# insert into t1 values(default, 100);
NOTICE: <NULL>
INSERT 0 1
create trigger trg2 after insert on t1
for each row execute procedure f_trg1();
postgres=# insert into t1 values(default, 100);
NOTICE: <NULL>
NOTICE: <NULL>
INSERT 0 1
"""
the default value shouldn't be dropped.

postgres=# alter table t1 alter height_in drop default;
