database - MS Access - sql expression for allow null? -


i use ms access (2003) database. once create column set not null using sql statement:

alter table table1  alter column mycolumn integer not null       

is there way change allow null values? tried:

alter table table1  alter column mycolumn integer null       

but nothing...

you cant specify null in alter table (although not null allowed)

see below documentation , discussion on toppic

syntax

alter table table {add {column field type[(size)] [not null]     [constraint index] |     alter column field type[(size)] |     constraint multifieldindex} |     drop {column field constraint indexname} } 


old school solution:-

  • create new temporray field null same datatype
  • update new temporary field existing not null field
  • drop old not null field
  • create droped column same datatype again without not null
  • update existing field temporary field
  • if there have been indices on existing field, recreate these
  • drop temporary field
