Java DB (Derby) Database Alter Column Size


I'm trying to alter the size of a field in my Java DB Database. I just can't seem to do it. My current data type is varchar(50) and I want to update it to varchar(150).


Solution

  • Solved:

    ALTER TABLE [table] ALTER COLUMN [column] SET DATA TYPE [type];

    I wasn't using the SET DATA TYPE function and was instead just trying to redeclare it by using ALTER COLUMN [column] [type];
