> I'm trying to import data from another Derby database with foreignViews tool
> because system tables got corrupted somehow (see
> https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/DERBY-6876). Tables contain generated
> ID columns (created as "GENERATED ALWAYS"). Importing data and allowing Derby
> to generate new IDs in generated columns will break relationships between
> tables (old tables have counter gaps there due to deletes - IDs won't match).
> For a clean import without breaking DDL information in DB version control I
> would like to be able to switch between generated types as follows:
>
> ALTER TABLE table1 ALTER COLUMN col1 SET GENERATED BY DEFAULT [ AS IDENTITY]
> ALTER TABLE table1 ALTER COLUMN col1 SET GENERATED ALWAYS [ AS IDENTITY]
