Question says all really…
I have table in a MySQL database which has a field “content”. It had lots of entries. The “content” field contained text.
I changed the field type to FLOAT. Now all “content” fields say “0”. Oops.
Is there a way to get the data (text) back…?
Unless you had a dump of the database from before the change, no, it’s gone. Next time, make backups before fiddling with table structures/field definitions.
