Re: Help needed with GENERATED ALWAYS AS IDENTITY

I have a set of SQL statements originally for MySQL (I think) which I am
attempting to convert to DB2.

These include things like this:

jobNumber INT NOT NULL AUTO_INCREMENT,

I believe that AUTO_INCREMENT needs to be replaced by GENERATED ALWAYS AS
IDENTITY but I also have existing data that has to be loaded into the table
and when I use this qualifier it refuses to allow data input for the
column. I tried removing the qualifier, inserting the data and then doing
an ALTER TABLE but it is not happy with that either.

So - question is - how do you do this in DB2 - it seems to work in Oracle,
SQL Server, MySQL, etc. so I'm guessing it can be done but I'm stumped.
