Question : Removing NOT NULL to a column doesn't work
Problem with a Not Null column in Firebird 1.5.
I attach a small database to reproduce the following problem:
- In the table FACTURA, I remove the constraint NOT NULL from the column FACTIPOIMPOSITIVO1 (either by code, either by using IBExpert)
- I try to set the value of that column to NULL and I get the error 'validation error for column FACTIPOIMPOSITIVO1, value '*** null ***'
- I get the same error executing my application when inserting a new record.
I'm out of ideas and I need an urgent solution. Please help!
NOTE: after unzipping, the database should be renamed to *.fdb
