Forum OpenACS Q&A: Response to alter column type problem.

I think that postgres as mature as it is now should really have a feature to change types of columns etc.

FWIW, I'm pretty sure Oracle won't let you do this either unless the column is empty. It seems to be a problem they've all chosen not to address.

I'll let the reader decide whether they consider Oracle to be mature or not. :)
