Int to Float or Double db:push

Hi we are working on a project that has drizzle db connected to a planetscale database. We initially had a column as an integer, but we later on decided that the column should be a float or a double. Doing a db:push truncates the column and deletes all the rows of the table. Is this a bug or is it like that by design? If it's by design what is the best way to update the columns to a double without wiping the table? Thanks in advance.

Hi! did drizzle asks you about that it's going to truncate the table?

Yes it did, but I'm just wondering what's the best way to do it if not with db:push 🙂
