Rick Hillegas created DERBY-6959:
------------------------------------
Summary: Required the Standard SET keyword in the syntax for
changing the cycle behavior of identity columns
Key: DERBY-6959
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/DERBY-6959
Project: Derby
Issue Type: Bug
Components: SQL
Affects Versions: 10.14.0.0
Reporter: Rick Hillegas
Fix For: 10.14.0.0
The correct syntax for changing the cycling behavior of an auto-increment
column is...
ALTER TABLE ALTER COLUMN $columnName SET [NO] CYCLE
...according to the 2016 SQL Standard, part 2, sections 11.20 (<alter identity
column specification) and 11.72 (<sequence generator definition>). This is also
the syntax used by DB2 (see
https://www.ibm.com/support/knowledgecenter/en/SSEPEK_10.0.0/sqlref/src/tpc/db2z_sql_altertable.html).
Right now Derby does not accept the required SET keyword. We should bring
Derby into compliance with the Standard. I will attach a patch to do this.
