re-load the view and functions, they are sill defined with the char(5)
column (you'll probably yneed to drop them all (but not the table) first).
plpgsql functions are partially compiled at the time they are defined
subsequent modifictions to the datatypes in their definition will
cause errors until they are re-defined
