2073231 - Table should be recreated when FK column is modified – SAP PD 16.5

• When modifying a Foreign Key (FK) column, e.g. changing the data type, PowerDesigner generates an ALTER TABLE table_name MODIFY column_name statement.
• Selecting the "Always use create statements" option in the Apply Model Changes to Database dialog has no effect and PD keeps generating ALTER TABLE statements.
• In the below example, executing the script generated by PowerDesigner leads to error "ORA-02267: column type incompatible with referenced column type".
• The alter.sql file should drop then create the tables and constraints again.
