Description

A constraint is used to define rules that help to provide data integrity. Column constraints are specific to the column name specified. You must have ALTER privilege on the table. The table will be locked for EXCLUSIVE use during the operation.

The RECALCULATE column constraint is used to force recalculation of calculated columns when a column's value changes. Any column which forms part of the calculation expression of a CALCULATED column must have the RECALCULATE column constraint set.

ALTER COLUMN available CALCULATED limit-balance
ALTER COLUMN limit RECALCULATE
ALTER COLUMN balance RECALCULATE;
