NOT NULL in Table creation

• 
  Hi there,
  
  apologies for the delay in getting back to you. This one had us bamboozled for a while. Our theory is that the constraint is probably DEFERRED which means you can insert nulls into that column as long as they are not there when the transaction finishes. This causes Oracle to report that the column can accept nulls. Could you please run the following SQL to confirm if this is what is happening?

  SELECT
  c.owner,
  c.table_name,
  c.qualified_col_name AS column_name,
  c.nullable
  FROM all_tab_cols c
  WHERE c.owner = 'MARC' AND c.table_name = 'DESTDETT'
  ORDER BY owner, c.table_name, c.column_id;
  
  
  SELECT
  c.owner,
  c.constraint_name,
  c.table_name,
  cc.column_name,
  c.search_condition,
  c.deferrable,
  c.deferred
  FROM
  all_constraints c
  LEFT JOIN all_cons_columns cc ON c.owner = cc.owner
  AND c.constraint_name = cc.constraint_name
  WHERE c.owner = 'MARC' AND c.table_name = 'DESTDETT'
  AND c.constraint_type IN ('P', 'U', 'C', 'V', 'O')
  ORDER BY owner, c.constraint_name, cc.position, cc.column_name
