n_distinct affects the statistics for the table itself, while n_distinct_inherited affects the statistics gathered for the table plus its inheritance children. Currently, the only defined per-attribute options are n_distinct and n_distinct_inherited, which override the number-of-distinct-values estimates made by subsequent ANALYZE operations. This form sets or resets per-attribute options.

SET STATISTICS acquires a SHARE UPDATE EXCLUSIVE lock. RENAME ATTRIBUTE This form is only usable with composite types. SET SCHEMA This form moves the type into another schema. RENAME This form changes the name of the type. There are several subforms: OWNER This form changes the owner of the type. For more information on the use of statistics by the PostgreSQL query planner, refer to Section 14.2. ALTER TYPE changes the definition of an existing type.

The target can be set in the range 0 to 10000 alternatively, set it to -1 to revert to using the system default statistics target ( default_statistics_target). This form sets the per-column statistics-gathering target for subsequent ANALYZE operations. PostgreSQL 9. sequence_option is an option supported by ALTER SEQUENCE such as INCREMENT BY. You can convert from INTEGER to CHARACTER VARYING out-of-the-box, all you need is ALTER TABLE query chaning column type: SQL Fiddle. Here after ALTER TABLE, specify name of table to which you want to modify column, then after ALTER COLUMN, specify name of column to which you want to change data type. These forms alter the sequence that underlies an existing identity column. Use ALTER TABLE ALTER COLUMN statement to change data type of column. If DROP IDENTITY IF EXISTS is specified and the column is not an identity column, no error is thrown. Like SET DEFAULT, these forms only affect the behavior of subsequent INSERT and UPDATE commands they do not cause rows already in the table to change. These forms change whether a column is an identity column or change the generation attribute of an existing identity column.
