Re: Change column name on DDL SQL table in iSeries Navigator

Does the table already contain data? If not, delete the column and
re-add. iNav allows you to change the system name, but I bet you think
that's like kissing your sister.

The reach around is to run something like this:
create table newtable as (select colA as newcolumn, colb, colc, cold,
cole... from oldtable)
drop oldtable
rename

<snip>
For the life of me I can't figure out why it doesn't allow column renames.

Experience has shown me that most people really don't care to figure out
why - they just want things to work the way they want them too. That
mentality is not always a bad thing.
