Answer / dinesh a.
You can assing only one primary key on a table , so you
can't modify directoly one column to another , you need to
drop first one then create on another attribute.
SQL>ct constraint_name,constraint_type from user_constraints
where table_name='EMP' and constraint_type='P';
CONSTRAINT_NAME C
------------------------------ -
SYS_C00125220 P
SQL> alter table emp drop constraint SYS_C00125220;
sql> alter table any_table add constraint my_cons_nm

YOU CANNOT CHANGE THE CONSTRAINTS DIRECTLY ON A COLUMN.
FIRST DROP THE CONSTARINT U HAVE CREATED AND THEN USE ALTER
COMMAND TO ADD CONSTARINT TO THE CORRECT COLUMN.
