Does CrateDB support modify type of column?

We want to modify some columns of text type to integer, while couldn’t find related command.

Hi,
To achieve this we should:

  • add a new column of type integer.
  • UPDATE the value of the new column across the table with an appropriate cast of the existing text values
  • DROP or RENAME the old column
  • optionally RENAME the new column

Please check the ALTER TABLE documentation for details on how to do this and feel free to comment or upvote feature request #13874 if you think it would be important to make this process simpler.

Thank you.
