I'm running Postgres 7.2.4. A VARCHAR column in my schema needs to be longer than the 
currently defined max length. What is the best way to achieve this without adding a 
new column with the correct VARCHAR length ?

One way I figured is to modify the pg_attribute table and set atttypmod to the correct 
value. Just want to know if there is any risk involved in doing this.
Thanks
Divya
