TSQL - Using ALTER TABLE - ALTER COLUMN To Modify Column Type / Set Identity Column
Sep 7, 2007Hi guys,
If I have a temporary table called #CTE
With the columns
[Account]
[Name]
[RowID Table Level]
[RowID Data Level]
and I need to change the column type for the columns:
[RowID Table Level]
[RowID Data Level]
to integer, and set the column [RowID Table Level] as Identity (index) starting from 1, incrementing 1 each time.
What will be the right syntax using SQL SERVER 2000?
I am trying to solve the question in the link below:
http://forums.microsoft.com/MSDN/ShowPost.aspx?PostID=2093921&SiteID=1
Thanks in advance,
Aldo.
I have tried the code below, but getting syntax error...
ALTER TABLE #CTE
ALTER COLUMN
[RowID Table Level] INT IDENTITY(1,1),
[RowID Data Level] INT;
I have also tried:
ALTER TABLE #CTE
MODIFY
[RowID Table Level] INT IDENTITY(1,1),
[RowID Data Level] INT;

How To Alter Column Length Of The Master Table Along With The Slave Table?
Aug 13, 2006In SQL Server 2005,here are two tables, created by the following SQL Statements:
CREATE TABLE student(
ID CHAR(6) PRIMARY KEY,
NAME VARCHAR(10),
AGE INT
);
CREATE TABLE score(
ID CHAR(6) PRIMARY KEY,
SCORE INT,
FOREIGN KEY(ID) REFERENCES student(ID)
);
For the length of Column ID is not enough, So I want to alter its length.The alter statement is:
ALTER TABLE student ALTER COLUMN ID CHAR(20)
For the table student is referenced by table score, the alter statement can not alter the column of the table student, and the SQL Server DBMS give the errors.
But, I can manually alter the length of the column ID in SQL SERVER Management Studio. How to alter column length of the master table(student) along with the slave table(score)?
Thanks!

Alter Table Column, Which Is Part Of Foreign Key
Apr 1, 2006In MS SQL Server, I have the following tables with some data in it.create table table1 (column1 varchar(32),column2 int not null,column10 varchar(255),.....primary key (column1, column2),);create table table2 (column1 varchar(32),column2 int not null,column20 varchar(255) not null,....foreign key (column1, column2) references table1(column1, column2));Now, I need to change the all column types from varchar to nvarchar tosupport internationalized character set.I am able to do so, for columns column10 in table1 and column20 oftable2 without any problems by using command:"alter table table1 alter column column10 nvarchar(255);"But, when I try the similar thing for column1 of table1/table2, amgetting one error message saying like: "ALTER TABLE ALTER COLUMN failedbecause one or more objects access this column". I guess, this iscoming because of foreign key relationship between the tables.NOTE: While defining the table2, for foreign key I have not specifiedanything like "on update cascase" ...etc.How can I resolve this issue? Any suggestions/solutions are reallyhelpful to me. Thanks in advance.

Check For Column Existance Before Alter Table Statement

I am trying to add columns to several tables in a singular database. I want to check to see if the column exists in a given table first before executing the alter table command so that I can skip that command if the column already exists, and avoid aborting my script prematurely. I can't seem to find a way to check for the column's existance. Any suggestions?

Alter Table Add Column - How Do You Add A Column After Say The Second Column
Jul 11, 2007
When you use "Alter Table add Column", it adds the column to the end of the list of fields.
How do you insert the new column to position number 2 for instance given that you may have more than 2 columns?
Create table T1 ( a varchar(20), b varchar(20), c varchar(20))
Alter table add column x varchar(20)
so that the resulting table is
T1 a varchar(20), x varchar(20), b varchar(20), c varchar(20)
Can this be done programmatically?
SQL Server 2008 :: Alter Column And Reindex 100M Row Table?
Jun 3, 2015I inherited a system which has an index on a set of columns which allow more than 900 bytes of data in it. We know one of the fields can be shortened to shrink the potential key size below 900 bytes.
The problem is the table is about 120m rows, and the index currently on that column is seeked (sought?) on about 2.5m times a day.
At its simplest, I want to drop the existing index, alter the column to shrink the varchar size, and then rebuild the index on the newly shortened column.
On a smaller, less used table, I might just do this in outside of business hours and call it a day, but I'm concerned that this will take a long time and block a lot of operations.
1) IIRC, shrinking a column, unlike widening it, is much more expensive, even if there are no values which would actually end up trunacted. Is this right?
2) I did a few tests on some other smaller (2+ m) row tables and was still able to select data out of the table. I don't think this covered all the read scenarios, but are there known scenarios which would simply not work during an index build?
3) I haven't yet tried DML operations to the table while it's doing either the column update or an index build. what scenarios would or would not be blocked?
Adding Column To A Table Before An Existing Column

SQL Tools :: Adding Column To A Table Causes Copying Data Into Temp Table
Sep 23, 2015If on the source I have a new column, the script generated by SqlPackage.exe recreates the table on the background with moving the data into a temp storage. If the table is big, such approach can cause issues.
Example of the script is below: in the source project I added columns [MyColumn_LINE_1]  and [MyColumn_LINE_5].
Is there any way I can make it generating an alter statement instead?
BEGIN TRANSACTION;
SET TRANSACTION ISOLATION LEVEL SERIALIZABLE;
SET XACT_ABORT ON;
CREATE TABLE [dbo].[tmp_ms_xx_MyTable] (
[MyColumn_TYPE_CODE] CHAR (3) NOT NULL,
[Code] ....
The same script is generated regardless the table having data or not, having a clustered or nonclustered PK.
Altered Table-changed Column From Text To Varchar And Now Having Issues With Alter Switch
Feb 14, 2008Working on partitioning a few large tables. One of the tables included a text column and the €œTEXTIMAGE_ON [PRIMARY]€? clause which would prevent the partitioning of this table. After some research we found that the data was legacy and no longer used. We updated the column on the affected rows to NULLS and altered the column to a VARCHAR(20)
When I attempted to run the ALTER TABLE SWITCH I encountered the error
Msg 4947, Level 16, State 1, Line 1
ALTER TABLE SWITCH statement failed. There is no identical index in source table 'LocalDeltanet.dbo.testresultsjoe' for the index 'PKIDX_testSummary' in target table 'LocalDeltanet.dbo.testresults_part'.
After a lot of grief and testing I determined that the message was bogus and the real issue is that the 'sys.tables' still has €œlob_data_space_id€? with a value of 1 for this table.
I created a copy of the table with the text column altered to varchar and one with just the varchar to begin with. After copying data from the original table, I tried to run the alter switch. It failed once again for the text column altered to varchar table, but it worked for the varchar from the start.
Since it appears that this value is causing my issues, is there anyway to update the table in place. I know I can BCP the data out, but that would take too long and would defeat the advantage of using the alter switch method.
BOL States:
The allow updates option is still present in the sp_configure stored procedure, although its functionality is unavailable in Microsoft SQL Server 2005 (the setting has no effect). In SQL Server 2005, direct updates to the system tables are not supported. This means we cannot update the table manually.
Thanks
Adding Column To Table
