Modifying Table Column
Can someone tell me the easiest/best way to make a modification to a table where you change a column constraint from not null to null? Would you rename the table, create the new one with the different column and then transfer the old data into the new definition?
thanks

SQL2000 Replication,modifying The Width Of A Column
Hi All, Is there a way by which we can modify the width of a column of a table which is being replicated without touching the ongoing transactional replication? This is for MSSQL2000 Transactional Replication. I know (and successfully tried) that we can add a column to a table and that gets propaged to the replicate database and indeed the added column gets reflected there. How to add a column? sp_repaddcolumn or Right Click on the Publication-Properties and it shows a button to Add a Column. This is what I have tried for modifying the width of a column of a table participating in Transactional Replication from varchar(10) to varchar(100) MH (source) -> MH1 (Replicate) The column “col1” had width of varchar(10) and this was altered to varchar(100). insert into MH..test_mh values(4,'abcdeabcdefff') select * from MH1..test_mh exec sp_dropsubscription @publication = N'MH', @article = N'test_mh', @subscriber = N'UKPBDRMTST2', @destination_db = N'MH1' go exec sp_droparticle @publication = N'MH', @article = N'test_mh' go alter table test_mh alter column col2 varchar(100) null OR MH1..sp_help test_mh exec sp_addarticle @publication = N'MH', @article = N'test_mh', @source_table = N'test_mh' go exec sp_addsubscription @publication = N'MH', @article = N'test_mh', @subscriber = N'UKPBDRMTST2' , @destination_db = N'MH1' go Needless to say, help would be apreciated -:) ~Mihir However, adding a column was possible.

Database Automatically Creates Xxx_Temp Table While Modifying / Updating Table Structure .
Hello friends, I am new to the SQL Server 2005 development. From last 1 week or so, i have been facing very strange problem with my sql server 2005s database which is configured and set on the hosting web server. Right now for managing my sql server 2005 database, i am using an web based Control Panel developed by my hosting company. Problem i am facing is that, whenever i try to modify (i.e. add new columns) tables in the database, it gives me error saying that, "There is already an object named 'PK_xxx_Temp' in the database. Could not create constraint. See previous errors. Source: .Net SqlClient Data Provider". where xxx is the table name. I have done quite a bit research on the problem and have also searched on the net for solution but still the problem persist. Thanks in advance. Any help will be appreciated.

Trouble Modifying A Table
Hi There, I am trying to add a new field to a table using enterprise manager by right clicking on the table, choosing design table and adding the new field/column. But when I choose save changes, I receive an error message: ------------------------------------------------------------ Errors were encountered during the save process. Some of the database objects were not saved. 'Comments' Table -Unable to modify table ODBC error: [Microsoft][ODBC SQL Server Driver][SQL SERVER] ... ... Cannot drop the table 'dbo.Comments' because it is being used for replication ----------------------------------------------------------- If it helps I am trying to add a binary (bit) field and a text field of 50 characters. I think the replication it refers to is a merge replication (not sure though is there a way i can find out in EM?) I have read some articles which refer to this problem and suggest using stored procedures but I really dont know how to do that, having never used them before. I need an idiots guide please! Let me know if I need to provide more info. Thanks.

Newbie: Modifying Table = Wrong Data In View?
Hi there, Completely new to the world of databases. I'm a designer who works primarily in Flash. In any case, I'm trying to manage an application that uses MS SQL and learn about the wonderful world of databases. Ok, I modified a table (e.g. I added a column called "Rate") that had associated views (created by another developer). Noticed that my application went a little wonky as some of my variables within my app took on the value of the data in the "Rate" column. I checked one of the views and noticed that a column within the view (e.g. TutorID) was assuming the values in the "Rate" column. Note: The column TutorID had been blank before the change to the table. I'm completely lost as to why this is happening. Do I need to rebuild the view? Can I just reset the original view? Thanks. Oh yeah, I'm using SQL4X Manager J from Mac Guru (if that helps).

Modifying Data Column Names And Data Types
I'm in the process of converting a rather huge VSAM database into a set of SQL tables. I am using the same data names from the mainframe (like XDB-NAME to RDB-NAME). I load the files using Import Export Data and it makes the tables with such column names as col001, col002, col003, etc... and always sets the data types to varchr(255). And I have to cut and paste the data names from the manframe side to the server side (and the data types to.) So, is there an easier way to do this? Or am I doomed to cut-n-paste my days away... Thanks for any help.

Questions On Key Column In Case Table And Key Time Column In Nested Table Using Time Series Algorithm
Hi, all experts here, Thank you very much for your kind attention. I am confused on key column of case table and key time column of nested table by using Time Series algorithm. In my case, the case table structure is as below: Territory key text (the ID is actually dimrisk_key, in this case, I use the name column binding to combine the Territory column of case table Dimrisks), While the nested table structure is as below: Cal_month key time (in this case, actually the ID is dimdate_key, again, I used name column bining property to bind the Cal_month to the ID) So my question is, as the key column of case table has been set to be Territory, as a result, does the model training still cover all the cases (rows) based on the ID of the table? Also, in the nested table, as the key time column has been set to Cal_month rather than Dimdate_key of the nested table, as a result, would the single series based on the cal_month? Hope it is clear for your advices and help. And I am looking forward to hearing from you shortly. With best regards, Yours sincerely,

MSSQL Server 7.0: How To Update A Column In One Table With Values From Another Table
This may be simple but I'm stumped. I have 2 tables- tableA and tableB. Each table has basically the same columns and rows with some variations. The common keys of both tables are employee ID. There are more employees listed in tableA than there are in tableB. The phone numbers in tableA are incorrect, but they are correct in tableB. How can I update tableA to have tableB's phone numbers wherever the employee ID field is the same for both tables? I've been playing around with an update statement, and select statements, but I can't figure out the syntax to update one column using values from another table without appending or overwriting all of the other columns in tableA. I need to keep ALL values in tableA the same except for the phone number column. Your help is GREATLY appreciated.

Modifying Job Notification
Is there a way to modify the information sent on a SQL Server job notification? The information sent now is rather lengthy and exceeds my pager capacity. As a result, the job status (Succeeded, Failed), which is the most important information does not appear. The workaround I am using now is that I have a job step which utilizes a xp_sendmail to notify of job completion.
