Hi,
 
When i am tring to change the column type from character/Varchar to "int" i am getting error like,
 
ERROR:  column "fname" cannot be cast to type "int4"
 
I can able to change the column type to "int " if the old datatype is double etc.
Even a "int" datatype also i can able to conver to "char"
and why not viceversa....Please tell me where the problem is.
Suggest me what to do to convert a "char" datatype to "int".
 
Thanks&Regards,
Sandhya
