Hmm, and maybe that is the reason why this is not clubbed with the removal of the primary constraint. Otherwise it seems to be a matter of decompiling the conkey and generating AT_DropNotNull nodes for the involved columns within ATPrepCmd and the rest should happen automatically. So I guess we can let it be. Regards, Nikhils -- http://www.enterprisedb.com
