How to change default data type of existing fields

[JaiSh12345]

Suppose I create a database and do: CREATE products:laptop SET price='499.99'

Now, I want to change the default datatype of price field to float.

I add another product CREATE products:desktop SET price=999.99.

But, it gives me back the field as a string. How do I change all future prices to be floats, and all previous ones too?

You can set it like:

CREATE products:desktop SET price = <float> 999.99

For previous records, I am not sure, I assume you can use UPDATE statements.

Issue #121 is open for the decimal to string conversion
