> Knut Anders Hatlen points out in a comment on DERBY-6609 that the
> columnAlteration syntax in the ALTER TABLE statement topic is not quite
> correct. It is possible to set the data type to BLOB or CLOB, in addition to
> VARCHAR and VARCHAR FOR BIT DATA.
> Also, for VARCHAR FOR BIT DATA, he notes, "the length argument is on the
> wrong spot. It should be columnName SET DATA TYPE VARCHAR ( integer ) FOR BIT
> DATA, rather than columnName SET DATA TYPE VARCHAR FOR BIT DATA( integer )."
> DERBY-6644 also requires a change to the columnAlteration syntax.
