Hi,

don't have my DB2 reference at hand right now, but as far as I remember a "SET INTEGRITY FOR my.table OFF" before the ALTER TABLE should help. After that you'll have to turn on INTEGRITY again. This should be something like "SET INTEGRITY FOR my.table IMMEDIATE CHECKED FORCE GENERATED".

Regards, Bernd
