How to Update a Database table column to constraint nullable='true' | Liquibase

In liquibase, I created a table, one of column is like below

<column name="identifier" type=""varchar2(50)">
    <constraint nullable="false"/>
</column>

This changeset is already executed

Now I need to set this column as

<constraint nullable="true"/>

I am using MySql

Solution

  • If you want to change a column to nullable='true' in Liquibase, you can use the modifyColumn tag.

    <modifyColumn tableName="table_name">
    <column name="identifier" type="varchar2(50)">
        <constraint nullable="true"/>
    </column>
</modifyColumn>

    Note: in Mysql, the equivalent for varchar2 is varchar; So ur modifyColumn tag should look like this:

    <modifyColumn tableName="table_name">
    <column name="identifier" type="varchar(50)">
        <constraint nullable="true"/>
    </column>
</modifyColumn>
