25257	"Changing CharField to GenericIPAddressField with PostgreSQL should use ""using field::inet"""	no	nobody	"The sql issued to postgresql when converting a CharField to a GenericIpAddress should be along the line of
{{{#!sql
ALTER TABLE table ALTER COLUMN ip_field TYPE inet USING ip_field::inet;
}}}

django.db.utils.ProgrammingError: column ""ip"" cannot be cast automatically to type inet
