I've been looking in docs for a while now and can't seem to find a way to
change field types; if one field type is a varchar and i want to make it a
text, how to go about doing that.

Also, i am able to find out what *type* of field a field is, but if it's a
varchar how do you find out how many bytes in size it is?

Thank you,
