Question: When I created my longtext metadata column a long time ago, I made it HTML longtext, which I recently found out was not good practice.

I created a second longtext column, this one plain-text. What would be the best method of changing all them over though?

Even without ffnet-specific problems, re-downloading metadata on every fic would be annoying. And search & replace also copies over the HTML tags.
