-407   AN UPDATE, INSERT, OR SET VALUE IS NULL, BUT THE OBJECT COLUMN column-name CANNOT CONTAIN NULL VALUES

Explanation

One of the following conditions occurred:
  • A null insert or update value was specified for a column defined as NOT NULL.
  • A SET transition variable statement specified a NULL value for column defined as NOT NULL without the WITH DEFAULT clause in the table definition.
  • The update or insert value was DEFAULT, but the object column was declared as NOT NULL without WITH DEFAULT in the table definition. Consequently:
    • A default value of NULL cannot be inserted into that column.
    • An update cannot set default values of NULL in that column.
    • A SET transition variable statement in a trigger cannot set default values of NULL in that column.
  • The column name list for the INSERT statement omits a column declared NOT NULL and without WITH DEFAULT in the table definition.
  • The view for the INSERT statement omits a column declared NOT NULL and without WITH DEFAULT in the base table definition.
  • A null insert value was specified for a ROWID column.

System action

The statement cannot be processed. The 'column-name' might be returned in the SQLCA, depending on the syntax of the SQL statement in which the error was detected.

Programmer response

Examine the definition of the object table to determine which columns of the table have the NOT NULL attribute or have a type of ROWID, and correct the SQL statement accordingly.
