    From the docs

    modify_col_properties

    Use this clause to modify the properties of the column. Any of the optional parts of the column definition (datatype, default value, or constraint) that you omit from this clause remain unchanged.

    So it’s a no-op if you don’t specify any properties. It is not, in itself, very useful.
