Subject: Alter column varchar(n) via updating pg_attribute
Date: Thu, 1 Sep 2011 17:41:48 -0500
Message-ID: <4E600A2C.9030307@yougov.com> (raw)

The last time this was asked about 
(http://archives.postgresql.org/pgsql-admin/2010-02/msg00189.php), 9.0 
was still alpha.

Is there any reason to suspect that direct pg_attribute manipulation to 
expand a varchar(n) column might not play nice with streaming 
replication/hot standby?  (Naturally I'm also in the process of testing).

Thanks,
Geoff
