Hello, let's say I have a table like this
NBR INTEGER PRIMARY KEY SOMEFIELD1 VARCHAR SOMEFIELD2 VARCHAR [...] Now I don't want to be NBR the primary key any more (the numbers there have a special meaning where I need to have some "0" entries now); I'd like to insert another "ID" colum which should be the new primary key (and filling it automatically from 1 to N by a generator). Is this possible within the "live" database/table, or do I have to create a new table with the colums needed, and do some "INSERT INTO NEWTABLE SELECT FROM OLDTABLE" and finally rename the new table to the old name? The server is FB 2.0.3; I have IBExpert and FlameRobin available.
