I have a column like this:
MYID INT GENERATED ALWAYS AS IDENTITY PRIMARY KEY
I know that when doing an INSERT
it's possible to override the generated value.
However once the row has been created I can't find a way to use an UPDATE
to change the value.
Is there a way to do it?
GENERATED ALWAYS
means what is says. You cannot override the values. If you want the system to simply ignore the values you provide, you can use OVERRIDING USER VALUES
in the INSERT statement. Otherwise you cannot supply values for the GENERATED column. Values for columns defined as GENERATED BY DEFAULT
can be overridden by the user.
