You can use the ALTER TABLE statement with time series tables. For complete information about ALTER TABLE syntax, see Teradata Vantage™ - SQL Data Definition Language Syntax and Examples, B035-1144.
You cannot use the following ALTER TABLE options on time series tables:
- ALTER TABLE MODIFY PRIMARY
- ALTER TABLE FROM TIME ZONE
- ALTER TABLE SET or RESET DOWN
- ALTER TABLE TO CURRENT
However, you can use an ALTER TABLE MODIFY PRIMARY statement to add a name or drop an existing name for PRIMARY TIME INDEX.
