Christophe,
I'm not using the proper syntax and the postgres alter table doc has no
example in the alter column choices.
What I've tried:
bustrac=# alter table people alter column email set data type varchar(64) [];
ERROR: column "email" cannot be cast automatically to type character varying[]
HINT: You might need to specify "USING email::character varying(64)[]".
How do I incorporate the "USING email::..." string?
TIA,
Rich
