8:09 testing on a large dataset indicates that it will attempt to "detect" the appropriate datatype. If you want to override one of these detected dtypes, you can use the dtype parameter to just specify which columns you want to change. You do not have to list all the columns in the dtype variable. Some additional info on the dtype parameter: you CAN use lower case, the types are not case sensitive. If you make a spelling error, it will default to a BLOB type.
