[ http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/DERBY-396?page=comments#action_12419866 ]
Bryan Pendleton commented on DERBY-396: --------------------------------------- I propose to file separate JIRA issues for the topics described here: 1) drop column 2) rename column 3) change column from null to not null, or vice versa 4) change column default value 5) change column datatype DERBY-119 already exists to track issue (3); I will be filing 4 new issues, linked to this one, to track the other topics. DERBY-168 was previously filed for issue (4), but was closed by changing the documentation, so I will open a new issue to track addition of the functionality. > Support for ALTER STATEMENT to DROP , MODIFY, RENAME a COLUMN > -------------------------------------------------------------- > > Key: DERBY-396 > URL: http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/DERBY-396 > Project: Derby > Type: New Feature > Components: SQL > Environment: LINUX > Reporter: Kumar Matcha > Assignee: Bryan Pendleton > Attachments: dropColumn_1.diff > > Alter Statement should support dropping a column, modifying a column to a > different data type , rename a column. -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA. - If you think it was sent incorrectly contact one of the administrators: http://issues.apache.org/jira/secure/Administrators.jspa - For more information on JIRA, see: http://www.atlassian.com/software/jira
