Changes an existing global field definition. When you use the
CHANGE FIELD statement to change the attributes of a global
field, Oracle Rdb changes only the attributes you mention in the
statement. All other attributes remain the same.
Example:
RDO> CHANGE FIELD POSTAL_CODE
cont> DATATYPE IS TEXT SIZE IS 9 CHARACTERS.
The CHANGE FIELD statement changes the field definition:
o In all the relations that refer to that field
o In the data dictionary (if you use INVOKE with the PATHNAME
qualifier)
o In the Oracle Rdb system relations
