Why not simply add a new field for the UomId ? Do we really need a service to
migrate data?
It seems to me that previous integers will be simply represented with 0 decimals. At least I tested on Postgres without any issues
at all.
I tried to keep things simple, to me and to persons who will need to update: no
deprecation, just a change.
Though I only tested on Postgres and there are maybe syntactic SQL variations...

If we want it to be a bit more generic we should probably add two new fields:
floorArea and floorAreaUomId and then deprecate
squareFootage, perhaps with a migration service to populate the new fields with
the data from the old.

Hi,
I'd like to allow Facility.squareFootage to support decimals. In order to do
that, I need to change the type of the
squareFootage field from numeric to fixed-point. I can't see any issues doing
that OOTB. But in case this would be a problem for
someone I prefer to warn.
