modifyType fails in MySQL 5.6

General Discussion

There seems to be a problem that is affecting the modifyType changesets in MySQL 5.6. These changesets worked fine in MySQL 5.5.

The column was varchar(255) and this changeset worked fine with MySQL 5.5. 


I see new error messages were added to MySQL 5.6

http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.6/en/error-messages-server.html#error_er_fk_column_cannot_change

which wasn’t there in:

http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.5/en/error-messages-server.html


So some changes were made. These should be fixed or documented in the modifyType documentation:
