Hello

ERROR : Cannot drop table invention column invention_cite because the other objects depend on it.
The message says it all, you have some other objects that depend on this column.
Open the psql session and run
\d+ invention
The output of this command can give you an idea on what's involved.

Hallo
Thankyou for replying my question, Continue with my problem : After I know the relation of the dependent object, what should i do to change my column data type in my table invention ?, Should I use the DROP ... CASCADE command to destroy the dependent object one by one ? and connected again to the new column after i drop the old column ?, or is there any other way, I mean an easy way to change my column data type without destroying the dependent object ?. Because the changes is not so significant but the effort to do this is so complicated. Can any body help me to solve this problem?.
Thank you very much in advance

I want to change the datatype of an existing column from char to
varbinary. When I run the "Alter Table" statement, I get the
following error message -
Disallowed implicit conversion from data type char to data type
varbinary, table 'test.dbo.testalter', column 'col1'. Use the CONVERT
function to run this query.

I'm doing a data conversion project, moving data from one SQL app to

I'm using INSERT INTO with Select and have the syntax correct. But when
executing the script I get:
Server: Msg 8114, Level 16, State 5, Line 1
Error converting data type varchar to float.
Is it possible to change the data type during the INSERT INTO statement?

Hello folks,
I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".
The problem is that using the GNU compilers, it seems that the internal comparison operator "<=>" tries to promote arguments from unsigned to signed.
This is as boiled down as I can make it.
Here is my compilation command:
