I was wondering about the thoughts people had on 'mutable tables', that
is, tables where you can easily change columns around on your table
without loss (provided sufficient space in new type). I would very much
like a mutable table system such as the one supported by mysql, and it
is one of the major flaws of postgresql in my opinion. I am pretty sure
it is somewhere in the TODO, but I was interested in how important other
people think that the issue is.

Thanks,
Jeff Davis
