Error description
When a column is changed from NOT NULL to NULLS ALLOWED using an Admin Tool change, the affected table is in an implicitly created tablespace. Since the table has to be dropped and recreated, the name of the tablespace changes. However, the old name is used for the START command. As the tablespace is newly created, the START command is unnecessary in this case, because the tablespace already has R/W status.
