* Change a field definition.
*
- * IMPORTANT NOTE: On some database systems (notably PostgreSQL),
- * changing a field definition involves adding a new field and
- * dropping an old one. This means that any indices, primary keys and
- * sequences (from serial-type fields) that use the field to be
- * changed get dropped. For database portability, you MUST drop them
- * explicitly before calling db_change_field() and then re-create them
- * afterwards. Use db_{add,drop}_{primary_key,unique_key,index} for
- * this purpose.
+ * IMPORTANT NOTE: To maintain database portability, you have to explicitly
+ * recreate all indices and primary keys that are using the changed field.
+ *
+ * That means that you have to drop all affected keys and indexes with
+ * db_drop_{primary_key,unique_key,index}() before calling db_change_field().
+ * To recreate the keys and indices, pass the key definitions as the
+ * optional $new_keys argument directly to db_change_field().
+ *
+ * For example, suppose you have:
+ * @code
+ * $schema['foo'] = array(
+ * 'fields' => array(
+ * 'bar' => array('type' => 'int', 'not null' => TRUE)
+ * ),
+ * 'primary key' => array('bar')
+ * );
+ * @endcode
+ * and you want to change foo.bar to be type serial, leaving it as the
+ * primary key. The correct sequence is:
+ * @code
+ * db_drop_primary_key($ret, 'foo');
+ * db_change_field($ret, 'foo', 'bar', 'bar',
+ * array('type' => 'serial', 'not null' => TRUE),
+ * array('primary key' => array('bar')));
+ * @endcode
+ *
+ * The reasons for this are due to the different database engines:
+ *
+ * On PostgreSQL, changing a field definition involves adding a new field
+ * and dropping an old one which* causes any indices, primary keys and
+ * sequences (from serial-type fields) that use the changed field to be dropped.
+ *
+ * On MySQL, all type 'serial' fields must be part of at least one key
+ * or index as soon as they are created. You cannot use
+ * db_add_{primary_key,unique_key,index}() for this purpose because
+ * the ALTER TABLE command will fail to add the column without a key
+ * or index specification. The solution is to use the optional
+ * $new_keys argument to create the key or index at the same time as
+ * field.
+ *
+ * You could use db_add_{primary_key,unique_key,index}() in all cases
+ * unless you are converting a field to be type serial. You can use
+ * the $new_keys argument in all cases.
