ALTER TABLE .. DROP COLUMN RESTRICT
Applies to ✅ Open Source Edition ✅ Express Edition ✅ Professional Edition ✅ Enterprise Edition
An optional RESTRICT clause can be added to a DROP COLUMN clause to hint at the operation failing when there are objects depending on the column.
// Add a RESTRICT clause when dropping columns
create.alterTable("table").drop("column").restrict().execute();
In most RDBMS, RESTRICT semantics is the default when dropping columns, although implementations do not agree on what dependent objects are included in the RESTRICT check.
