Add NOT NULL constraint on column in Postgress
You can't just add a new non-nullable column to a table when it already has entries in it, as those would be pre filled with NULL
.
An easy solution is to create it with DEFAULT NULL
, update the data and then make it non-nullable.
This can look like this:
ALTER TABLE company ADD enabled_features JSON DEFAULT NULL;
UPDATE company SET enabled_features = '[]';
ALTER TABLE company ALTER COLUMN enabled_features SET NOT NULL;
