    hello,

    from reading a couple threads around the "NOT NULL" constraint for UCanAccess, I come to the conclusion that there is a fundamental difference between HSQLDB and MS Access, in which HSQLDB forces users to deal with nulls before a NOT NULL constraint can be applied to a column.

    Is the team currently considering to implement ALTER COLUMN NOT NULL ? or is this feature unplanned for the reasonable future?

      It's unplanned because unsupported by jackcess, we can't alter the
      underlying metadata structure if jackcess doesn't allow us for this
