Message-ID: <3329.65.206.3.249.1029775533.squirrel@webmail.geneseo.edu> (raw)
Is there a way to modify the type of an existing column? All I actually
want to do is extend the length of the type from a VARCHAR(6) to
VARCHAR(100).
Column | Type | Modifiers
------------------------+-----------------------+------------------------
email | character varying(6) | not null
gold_program=> ALTER TABLE student MODIFY email varchar(100);
ERROR: parser: parse error at or near "modify"
