ALTER TABLE .. ALTER CONSTRAINT .. ENFORCED

Applies to ✅ Open Source Edition   ✅ Express Edition   ✅ Professional Edition   ✅ Enterprise Edition

A constraint can be enabled using the ALTER TABLE's ENFORCED clause on a constraint:

// Set the enforced flag on a constraint
create.alterTable("table").alterConstraint("uk").enforced().execute();

If enforcement of the constraint fails, an error is raised by the database.
