I have a column of type big int that I would like to convert to type int I used the sql alter command with IGNORE and all the values greater than 2147483647 where all set to 2147483647 now what I would like to happen is I would like to keep the last bit and have it flag the negative
for example Bigint int 2147483648 should become -2147483648 2147483649 should become -2147483647 Is there an easy way to do this if not does anyone know an update query that I could run to convert the numbers before I do the alter?
