Hello list, <br>
<br>
May I know is there a way to "alter column type to varchar"
(previous is varchar(***)) without view drop/re-creation?<br>
<br>
Basically, looking for a way to change column without have to
drop/re-create dependent views. <br>
<br>
varchar(***) to varchar and no date/numeric changes. <br>
<br>
Thanks a lot!<br>
