The SQL syntax for ALTER TABLE Add Constraint is
ALTER TABLE "table_name"
ADD [CONSTRAINT_NAME] [CONSTRAINT_TYPE] [CONSTRAINT_CONDITION]
Let's look at the example. Assuming our starting point is the "customer" table created in the CREATE TABLEsection:
Table customer
Column Name | Data Type |
First_Name | char(50) |
Last_Name | char(50) |
Address | char(50) |
City | char(50) |
Country | char(25) |
Birth_Date | date |
Assume we want to add a UNIQUE constraint to the "Address" column. To do this, we type in the following:
MySQL:
ALTER TABLE customer ADD CONSTRAINT con_first UNIQUE (first_name);
Oracle:
ALTER TABLE customer ADD CONSTRAINT con_first UNIQUE (first_name);
SQL Server:
ALTER TABLE customer ADD CONSTRAINT con_first UNIQUE (first_name);
where con_first is the name of the constraint.
