I have table A with a column AA which references table B's primary key BB, and I want to alter column AA to delete on cascade. ALTER TABLE A COLUMN AA ADD CONSTRAINT DELETE ON CASCADE is what I tried with a zillion variations, all reporting syntax errors. \h alter table seems to be missing any way to add a constraint to a column. Or maybe this isn't a constraint ... does seem like maybe the wrong name, but I can't think what else it would be called, and the other choices shown with \h seem even less likely. Your assiatnce is much appreciated. I would gladly send you some Oreos or Ginger Nuts :-) -- ... _._. ._ ._. . _._. ._. ___ .__ ._. . .__. ._ .. ._.
