Thanks for picking this up. If you look in the existing Derby code you will find some runtime support already, look at this class. org.apache.derby.impl.sql.execute.AlterTableConstantAction Feel free to use that code or write new code, using the above code may allow a quicker project, as it comes down to enhancing the parser to use that code at runtime, like the current ALTER TABLE command. And of course tests :-) Dan.
