#Postgresql change column type update
To do this, we will create a new table with our desired column order, update it with the data, then drop the old table, resolving any dependencies. Last_updated BEFORE UPDATE ON film_actor FOR EACH ROW EXECUTE PROCEDURE last_updated() "film_actor_film_id_fkey" FOREIGN KEY (film_id) REFERENCES film(film_id) ON UPDATE CASCADE ON DELETE RESTRICT "film_actor_actor_id_fkey" FOREIGN KEY (actor_id) REFERENCES actor(actor_id) ON UPDATE CASCADE ON DELETE RESTRICT "film_actor_pkey" PRIMARY KEY, btree (actor_id, film_id)
Last_update | timestamp without time zone | not null default now() We have noticed that many developers often confuse which id is the films and which is the actors, so to eliminate this, we want to change the order of the columns. In our first example, we have a table named film_actor, which contains three columns, an actor_id, a film_id, and a last_update column. 2 Adding alter column syntax into postgresĪlter column workarounds Recreate the table.The only way to change column order is either by recreating the table, or by adding columns and rotating data until you reach the desired layout. Postgres currently defines column order based on the attnum column of the pg_attribute table. ordering columns can make working with a table easier, either by putting result sets in an order that is visually appealing, or by grouping columns based on similar function within a table.physical layout can be optimized by putting fixed size columns at the start of the table.There are two main reasons why being able to alter column position would be useful within postgres The rest of this document is meant to explain the workarounds, and track the issues that must be dealt with should someone want to implement this functionality. The idea of allowing re-ordering of column position is not one the postgresql developers are against, it is more a case where no one has stepped forward to do the work. Currently it does not if you want to change column positions, you must either recreate the table, or add new columns and move data. Many people new to postgresql often ask if it has support for altering column positions within a table.
