> I think that part of the documentation needs to be changed... Unless someone actually shows Derby can support modifying default values or add a default to an existing column, either myself or you :-)  should file a JIRA documentation bug to fix the documentation.
> Under the modifying columns, the document says two options are available....1) Increase a VARCHAR length 2) specify an interval between identity columns.
