Features
Features
Changing the column datatype can be helpful to perform different operation on them. For example: If a user extracts the table from an application and gets the columns with string datatype. So in this case the filteration of data on a specific condition which requires comparison between the column value and an integer value becomes very difficult if the column datatype is not changed to Integer. Hence this activity can prove very beneficial in such cases where data manipulation is required depending upon datatypes. This activity gives a user the benefit to change the column datatype to any user selected datatype where the conversion is a possible one .
