Re: Cannot add non-null columns

Your crystal ball is brilliant. I've tested using PostgreSQL 7.4.2 (SUSE
9.1), and that's the message:

ERROR: adding NOT NULL columns is not implemented
HINT: Add the column, then use ALTER TABLE SET NOT NULL.

Would be great if error messages could be selected and copy/pasted in
message (like Address line of url properties from web brosers).

Virgil
