OK. THX. Second question:
First, maybe set many fields with the same action - ex. set default?
Ex. on mysql
ALTER TABLE proc MODIFY name char(64) DEFAULT '' NOT NULL,
MODIFY specific_name char(64) DEFAULT '' NOT NULL,
MODIFY sql_data_access
enum('CONTAINS_SQL',
'NO_SQL',
'READS_SQL_DATA',
'MODIFIES_SQL_DATA'
) DEFAULT 'CONTAINS_SQL' NOT NULL....
Second, can i modify more than 1 option with alter table on one field?:
ex (mysql):
ALTER TABLE proc MODIFY name varchar(64) DEFAULT '' NOT NULL;
