Re: drop default not null problem

Deep down in the SQL0190 message it explains that you can only

The "DROP DEFAULT" function doesn't complain if I create the column "WITH DEFAULT" and no specific value. I can do a "DROP DEFAULT" and "DROP NOT NULL" independently ... but not together.

Nevertheless, as I see it, there is still a difference between the
default values...

Yes, but the system tables don't indicate that difference.
