Changing data by overtyping

You can change the data displayed in a File Manager/Db2 editor session by overtyping it with the new data.

To successfully change data by overtyping:
  • The new data you enter must be compatible with the data type of the column being changed. For example, you can only enter numeric values in a column that has a numeric data type.
  • The column must be updateable (as defined in the Db2® catalog).
  • If the table is subject to referential integrity, the new data must not cause a referential integrity violation.
