CHANGE COLUMN

ALTER TABLE.. CHANGE COLUMN 语句用于在已有表上更改列,包括对列进行重命名,和将数据改为兼容类型。

从 v5.1.0 版本起,TiDB 开始支持 Reorg 数据的类型变更,包括但不限于:

  • 从 varchar 转换为 bigint
  • decimal 精度修改
  • 从 varchar(10) 到 varchar(5) 的长度压缩

MySQL 兼容性

  • 不支持主键列上 Reorg-Data 类型的变更。
  • 不支持分区表上的列类型变更。
  • 不支持生成列上的列类型变更。
  • 不支持部分数据类型(例如,部分时间类型、Bit、Set、Enum、JSON 等)的变更,因为 TiDB 中 CAST 函数与 MySQL 的行为存在兼容性问题。
