Hi,

We have a partition table with partitioning type range and got the
requirement from the application team to alter the datatype of partitioning
key from bigint to varchar. Please suggest to me the way how this can be
achieved.

Data volume is quite huge in the table. ~50 Billion rows

Thanks & Regards
