Remove primary key
This is an Oracle dababase 10.2.0.4 on solaris 10.
I want to remove the primary keys from specific tables on certain named columns. Also I want to drop the specific named columns from the table.
I will appreciate suggestions as to the best possible approach.
Thanks,
Lucky

Drop PKs
- Research alter table drop constraint to get rid of PK
Drop columns
- You should also get rid of all indexes referencing columns you want to drop
- I would create new tables, like CTAS
