Description

DERBY-119 added a new feature to the ALTER TABLE statement: it is now
possible to change the NULL / NOT NULL constraint on a column.

The documentation for ALTER TABLE should be amended to reflect this new
capability. I think that the page that needs to be changes is the ALTER TABLE
page in the Reference manual
http://db.apache.org/derby/docs/dev/ref/rrefsqlj81859.html
