Subj:   Re: Widen a column length with the ALTER TABLE

Check the SQL Reference - DDL manual for restrictions. In general, you can't ALTER the table in a way that requires validation or conversion of existing data.

So for example you can increase the max length of VARCHAR; you can change from NOT NULL to nullable, etc. But you can NOT increase max length, change the length of fixed CHAR, or from nullable to NOT NULL.
