Question

I am facing one problem. I have a table already create in DB2.

CREATE TABLE "DDL12"
(
 "D4_1" decimal(10,0),
 "D4_2" decimal(10,0),
);

I am trying to create a PK on this table as :-

ALTER TABLE "DDL12" ADD CONSTRAINT "Key4" PRIMARY KEY ("D4_1");

But while running the command, I am getting the error saying D4_1 is NULLABLE.

Now, how can I create a PK on this table?

Thanks

Yes, this is due the fact, that your database “could have” rows having NULL value in that non PK column right now.

So first set the column to NOT NULL (+ make sure having a unique value in all rows) and then set the primary key with the command above.

You can change a column to not NULL like this:

ALTER TABLE "DDL12"
 MODIFY "D4_1"   decimal(10,0)     NOT NULL;
