I am using the following statementALTER TABLE Tab1 ALTER COLUMN IdCol RESTART WITH 1to reset an identity column.PostgreSQL locks the entire table in exclusive mode whenever it processes the ALTER TABLE statement. Hence ALTER TABLE cannot be executed concurrently with other operations on the same table.Does the above statement in DB2 lock the whole table? I would like to know more about the types of locks that are implicitly placed for SQL statements. Is there any documentation available on this?What is the authorization level required to run ALTER TABLE statement?

I am just starting on the MySQL journey. I would like to use a script file to create my database which I can add to progressively as I add tables and columns to tables in the development environment. When complete, I would like to use the same script to create the operational database. If, for example I use CREATE DATABASE IF NOT EXISTS fred ... then when it runs the second and subsequent times there is no problem. Same with CREATE TABLE IF NOT EXISTS ... However, ALTER TABLE tblFRED ADD COLUMN ... has no IF NOT EXISTS clause and creates an error when run a second time. I could do a serious ed

I had a general question about the alter table command. Specifically this statement: ALTER TABLE <table_name> TYPE=InnoDB; After reading the docs, I understand this is one way to convert a MyISAM table to an InnoDB table. Does this also "rebuild", if you will, a current InnoDB table? If so, can you use this statement to "rebuild" tables of other table types?
Is it possible to add a default value for a column through the alter table command?Please reply

I want to use the DB2 control center to change the column name ( and data type either ) of a table. I have set the Privileges to Grand but when I open the alter table(change column) notebook.

I was reading this:http://www.dbazine.com/mullins_onlineschema.shtmlSounds like on DB2 V8 for z/OS you can change CHAR(n) to CHAR(n+x) with an ALTER TABLE command:ALTER TABLE TEST ALTER COLUMN TESTCOLSET DATATYPE CHAR(100);Sounds like an excellent feature! Anyone know if it's coming to DB2 for Linux/Windows/Unix? Right now it's limited to expanding VARCHARs. I'm sick of export, drop, create, import...I didn't see it in the Stinger list either.
I don't think this is possbile but I thought I would check. Is it possible to Alter a column from Nullable to Not Nullable w/o dropping and recreating the table? I'm coming a SQL Server background and there you can do the following....ALTER TABLE TABLENAME ALTER COLUMN CNAME NOT NULLAs long as there are no values currently null in the table, this will work and is much faster than the alternative. Is there something that is similar or easier in DB2.

I am using ALTER TABLE NOT LOGGED INITIALLY with EMPTY table option to truncate the tables instead of DELETE for intermediate tables. e.g. Target table - -- Intermediate Tables ----- Source TablesAs per requirement developers has written the pgm to commit at the end of pgm if everything is successful otherwise rollback all the tables[target and intermediate].Due to Alter table ....NOT LOGGED ..... [truncate] looks like entire table gets locked and after rollback, these tables becomes inaccessible. The only option is to drop and re-create the table.The alternative is to use delete instead of tr
Just wondering whether is anyone have heard or know of a new db2 command equivalent to the 'alter table move' existing in Oracle. I need to move a bunch of tables to a new tablespace and I know that since DB2 8.2 became available it has a lot of new goodies so I'm hoping we have something new able to help me. Otherwise I will have to stick with export/import approach.

Hi, this is about my 2nd week into using MySQL (in fact any SQL) and your website has answered just about all me questions except the following... I have managed to create a database of 4.2 million rows. There are a few varchar fields and a couple of them are indexed with fulltext. Plus there are four numeric fields. I discovered when I only had about 400,000 rows that I could skim the top most 200 likely matches off the database with fulltext by first sorting the table with ALTER TABLE and then using a LIMIT 200. Since my data was not being added top the data was remaining sorted and this wor
