pgsql: Improve error message for ALTER COLUMN TYPE coercion failure.
Started by Tom Laneabout 14 years ago1 messagescomitters
Improve error message for ALTER COLUMN TYPE coercion failure.
Per recent discussion, the error message for this was actually a trifle
inaccurate, since it said "cannot be cast" which might be incorrect.
Adjust that wording, and add a HINT suggesting that a USING clause might
be needed.
