Re: How do I change data type from text to bool?

There currently is no simple SQL command that accomplishes this.
 It can be accomplished by creating an identical new table with
the bool data type change and then running a "INSERT INTO
new_table (SELECT * FROM old_table)".  Then you can check your
results, drop the old table, and rename the new one.
