hi.
thinking about it more...
I tend to think it's not a bug.
because SET DATA TYPE changes the CHECK constraint definition.
>> DROP TABLE IF EXISTS main_table;
>> CREATE TABLE main_table (a int, b int, check(a = b));
>> ALTER TABLE main_table ALTER COLUMN a SET DATA TYPE numeric;
>> ALTER TABLE main_table ALTER COLUMN a SET DATA TYPE int;
At this stage, the constraint definition is no longer "a = b",
it becomes "(a::numeric = b::numeric)", which is different from "(a = b)".
sorry for the noise.
