This is tricky, I always have to look it up in my notes:

ALTER TABLE <tablename> DROP CONSTRAINT &vIndexName

Subject: [RBASE-L] - How to drop a foreign key in a table using SQL

Hi,

I like to remove a column from a table, which also happens to be a foreign key.
So I have ro remove the Foreign key first and then drop the column.

The proper commands are:

alter table <table> drop constraint <conname>
alter table <table> drop column <colum>

My problem is that I don't know the <conname>.
Does anybody knows how to find this conname?


Tony
