Not Null

The NOT NULL

constraint enforces a column to not accept NULL values, which means that you cannot insert or update a record without adding a value to this field. The following SQL ensures that the "ID", "LastName", and "FirstName" columns will NOT accept NULL values:

Example

CREATE TABLE Persons ( ID int NOT NULL, LastName varchar(255) NOT NULL,

FirstName varchar(255)

NOT NULL,

Age int

);
The following SQL creates a NOT NULL constraint on the "Age" column when the "Persons" table is already created:

ALTER TABLE Persons

MODIFY Age int NOT NULL;
