Symptom
- Modifying an existing database schema to reflect new changes in your Physical Data Model (PDM).
- A table column is made mandatory to reject null values when the column contains no null values.
- A table column is made non-mandatory to accept null values.
- PostgreSQL DBMS uses the ALTER TABLE statement to allow null values or to reject null values for a column:
ALTER TABLE table
ALTER [ COLUMN ] column { SET | DROP } NOT NULL
- PowerDesigner always drops then recreates the table.
