This is cool.
If it were this simple a change, I'm not certain why (I believe) PG is
checking each and every row to see if it will fit into the new column
definition/type.
Thus, I'm still a bit hesitant to do the change, although it is
definitely a very enticing thing to do. ( I presume also that this
change will be instantaneous and does not need to check on each and
every row of the table?)
Thanks./
