Hi Avinash,

If someone in the community would like to drive the development, I would be
happy to see support for e.g. ALTER TABLE like statements.

On the other hand I think that constraints and index stuff is too tightly
oriented towards relational databases. Such statements does not make sense
in most other contexts that MetaModel supports. We could of course add some
methods specifically to the JdbcDataContext, but I am not sure I would see
the point, since you can then also just access the JDBC API directly for
that.

But maybe to enlighten us, how would your preferred API for doing these
things look like? Why are you not just using JDBC for it?

Kind regards,
Kasper
