Subject: altering a column to to make it generated
Date: Mon, 22 Apr 2024 15:42:09 -0400
Message-ID: <CAGD6t7L68jXK6jOLHhyRijSE1y-Y_pic9RZaNyBG+-QY4pa=6Q@mail.gmail.com> (raw)

Can I alter a table column to now make it generated? I tried this
unsuccessfully:

create temp table tmp1 as select 15::numeric(6,1) as
distance,'24:30'::interval,0::numeric(7,3) as avgspd;
alter table tmp1 alter column avgspd type numeric(7,3) generated always as
((3600.*distance)/EXTRACT (EPOCH FROM rdrtime::interval)) STORED;
ERROR:  syntax error at or near "generated"
LINE 1: ... table tmp1 alter column avgspd type numeric(7,3) generated ...

I think that at least I have the right bracketing this time! :-)
                                                 ^
