Hi,

I have created table like below and inserted the data.. It's allowed the NULL values...

create table forums(newpost varchar(20),oldpost varchar(20),views int,hits int);

I want to recreate a old table with new name, has to give the NOT NULL command for all the columns..

Here my q's is.. Already null values are stored in old table.. If I recrate a new table is the NULL values will over ride or not??

As per the above requirement could you suggest if is there any other way to full fill this..

Thanks,
Suresh

Hello Suresh,

While creating new table you can define the default value for not Null col.
