I am running postgres 9.2.4 and 1 of my columns (column name is old_field) is type json. When I select from this table, I get the following sample data
select old_field from table1;
[],
['a', 'b']
['a']
[]
How do I change the data type from json to text[]?
I have tried
alter table table1 add column new_field text[] default '{}'::text[]"
UPDATE table1 SET new_field = {old_field} where old_field is not null"
Questions:
1) how to I change the data type from json to text[]
