How hard would it be to rewrite table content on composite attribute type change?
For simple use cases: create type complex as (i int, j int); create table numbers (c complex); insert into numbers values(row(1,2)); I can work around alter complex from int to bigint "fairly" easy with alter type complex add attribute _tmp_i bigint; --loop for each table update numbers set c._tmp_i = (c).i; --end loop alter type complex drop attribute i; alter type complex rename attribute _tmp_i to i; I can "easily" work with deep nested types, but things starts to get PITA when there is array involved because I need to unroll it and pack it again.
