Hi List,
I have a short question to psql.
Why does this not work:
postgres=# ALTER TABLE tab1 ALTER COLUMN nr TYPE serial;
ERROR: type "serial" does not exist
but this:
postgres=# ALTER TABLE tab1 DROP COLUMN nr;
ALTER TABLE
postgres=# ALTER TABLE tab1 ADD COLUMN nr serial;
NOTICE: ALTER TABLE will create implicit sequence "tab1_nr_seq" for
serial column "tab1.nr"
ALTER TABLE
because serial isn't a type.
ah - I think this is what the error message says ;-/ ... ?? !!
