Hi folks,

I'm wondering whether it's safe to just change the data type of a field 
from 'string' to 'integer' if all of the field values are integer strings 
(i.e., strings that could be converted properly with python's int(string)). 
Will the data be safe in such a conversion or do I need to use an 
intermediate temporary field to hold the data, then perform the migration, 
and then move the data back.

Thanks,

Ian
