Hi all,
Some questions:
1. What is the difference between abstime and timestamp - they seem to
display equally...
2. Since int4 and abstime are binary compatible (ie int4::abstime works), is
there any serious problem with updating a pg_attribute row for an int4 and
changing it to and abstime? My experiments seem to work.
3. Is there any way of checking pg_type to check that two types are binary
compatible and can be substiuted in this way?
4. Is there any worth in me submitting a patch that will allow rudimentary
column type changing, so long as the types are binary compatible???
