Which datatypes can I convert?  Decreasing column length may truncate data

Chapter 8: Creating Databases and Tables

Modifying tables may prevent successful bulk copy of previous dump

Modifying either the length or datatype of a column may prevent you from successfully using bulk copy to copy in older dumps of the table. The older table schema may not be compatible with the new table schema. Before you modify a column’s length or datatype, verify that it will not prevent you from copying in a previous dump of the table.
