I would agree with you Sven, I really like that feature to be added too,
because that's one of the important reasons I still prefer mysql
whenever I don't have to use other features that postgres has.

In other word, nobody cares about that at the moment, and so this will
not be implemented.

something i hate most about opensource movement are these comments
like "submit a patch". your staments are not that rough, but i'd need
more time to get into the code than to implement the feature.
so if this feature was never foreseen, than it might get a heavy task,
and it might be even havier in a few years to implement that.

even a tool could help to improve that. perhaps pgAdmin could be
teached to change a column's type by performing the steps it would need.

i'll submit a feature-request to the pgadmin team.
