Problem IC63732 | Status: Closed |
AUTO_REVAL SET TO DEFERRED MAY CAUSE DROP ON A GENERATED COLUMN TO BE BLOCKED BY SQL0478N | |
product: | |
DB2 FOR LUW / DB2FORLUW / 970 - DB2 | |
Problem description: | |
A database configuration parameter, AUTO_REVAL, is introduced in v9.7, and is set to DEFERRED by default for new databases created in v9.7. When AUTO_REVAL is set to anything that is not DISABLED, ALTER TABLE...DROP COLUMN is blocked when dropping a generated column. Example: create table t1 (c1 integer not null primary key,c2 char(9) not null,c3 char(8) not null generated always as (substr(c2,1,8))); alter table t1 drop column c3 DB21034E The command was processed as an SQL statement because it was not a valid Command Line Processor command. During SQL processing it returned: SQL0478N DROP, ALTER, TRANSFER OWNERSHIP or REVOKE on object type "COLUMN" cannot be processed because there is an object "SQL091007173914120", of type "CHECK CONSTRAINT", which depends on it. SQLSTATE=42893 | |
