Thread: type conversion

hello,
I created a table with integer instead of boolean, but now I need to
change it. PdAdmin wont let me do it. Should I drop the (empty) table
and start again?

Thanks

See the SQL command ALTER TABLE and read the section on ALTER
[ COLUMN ] column [ SET DATA ] TYPE type [ USING expression ].
