Changing Dropdown attribute to text in magento 1.9 without changing data

No correct solution
OTHER TIPS
I have a couple of update statements that should change the data-type from int to varchar (should be the case for all non-numeric text fields), changes input-type from select to text, and migrates all of the existing data into the correct tables. You should be able to run these in either order, then just re-index and you're done!
Update attribute settings:
UPDATE eav_attribute
SET
backend_type = 'varchar',
frontend_input = 'text'
WHERE attribute_id = [add the attribute id];
Insert values from the old table into the new table:
insert into catalog_product_entity_varchar
(entity_type_id, attribute_id, store_id, entity_id, value)
(
select
cpei.entity_type_id,
cpei.attribute_id,
cpei.store_id,
cpei.entity_id,
eaov.value
from eav_attribute_option eao
join eav_attribute_option_value eaov
on eao.option_id = eaov.option_id
join catalog_product_entity_int cpei
on eao.option_id = cpei.value
where cpei.attribute_id = [one or more attribute_ids of your choosing]
)
hope its work for you
