Hi,
I am surprised by the fact that altering tables and columns is so limited in PostgreSQL, this powerful DBMS! Changing column types and droping columns are missing important features I think.
I am corious about the rationale behind these design decisions. Are they high-end features for a DBMS? And if they are being planned to be included in a future version, in which version and when if it's possible, they will be implemented?
Thanks for that powerful DBMS; it is superb on all other aspects!
