Greetings –

 

It looks to me as if there is no way to alter the datatype of a table column, as in from timestamp to varchar.  Am I right?  (I will cry if I’m right.) L.

It appears that I must drop and then re-create the table structure, with my new column datatype,  in order to keep the columns in the current order – true?

 

Thanks for your input.

 

Louise
