Re: SQL: create a table with a primary key

[Michael Schutte <mschutte369@xxxxxxxxx>]

Primary key must be within the Create Table

Create table mschutte/compmast as (
  company char(3),
  description char(30),
  primary key (company)
)

I don't believe you can do it the way you are creating the table.

Try creating just the table then try

ALTER TABLE qtemp/mdcmdct ADD PRIMARY KEY (ADBTCRD)

I'm not certain that you can add a primary key on a qtemp table either.
 You may, I just don't know for certain.

If that doesn't work.... create a unique index.
