Entering the following command into a PostgreSQL interactive terminal results in an error:
ALTER TABLE tbl_name ALTER COLUMN col_name varchar (11);
What is the correct command to alter the data type of a column?
Try the code given below:
ALTER TABLE tbl_name ALTER COLUMN col_name TYPE varchar (11);
