not weird, just limited

only some ddl (data definition language) is supported, not all --

  HOWTO: Common DDL SQL for the
  Microsoft Access Database Engine (Q180841)
  http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;EN-US;q180841

you can alter the table to add an integer column, but you cannot set the
default value, and i believe it allows nulls even if you specify not null

do table design on your local database copy, and then upload
