Knut Anders Hatlen commented on DERBY-3888:
-------------------------------------------
Thank you, Mamta. I haven't had time to look into the changes you've made in
DERBY-6414 and related issues, but I didn't run into any problems when I wired
the new code into my patch, and I take that as a good sign.
> ALTER TABLE ... ADD COLUMN cannot add identity columns

> Components: SQL
> Affects Versions: 10.4.2.0
> Reporter: Knut Anders Hatlen
> Assignee: Knut Anders Hatlen
> Priority: Minor

> ALTER TABLE .. ADD COLUMN cannot be used to add an identity column. There is
> code to handle identity columns, but it is disabled in the parser. See this
> thread on derby-user:
> http://mail-archives.apache.org/mod_mbox/db-derby-user/200708.mbox/%[email protected]%3E
> The code was disabled for DB2 compatibility. Since DB2 compatibility is not a
> goal for Derby, we should see if we could re-enable it.
