Hello,

Is there a way to force the view column change from varhcar(32) to 
varchar(128)?

Example:
===================
v1 (id varchar(32) ... )

There are more than 1000 other views depend on v1.

Instead of recreating all other 1000 views, is there a way postgresql 
8.3 can do/accept:

create or replace v1 AS

select id::varchar(128), ......

Thanks a lot!
