Changing MERGE tables

If I have a merge table that is made up of a set of tables and I want
to change the structure of the underlying tables, how do I do it? Will
I be allowed to change each table one at a time even though the
structure must remain the same among all tables?

Also, if primary keys cannot be enforced, does that mean when I do an
insert I must name the actual table I want to insert into?

Thanks so much!

Hey guys -

I did some tests, and it turns out that they can have differing structure
while I alter the underlying tables. As long as they are all the same when I
alter the merge table, things are ok.

Thanks,
Shane
