| Is it possible to alter a datatype for a column in SQL server 6.5?The current table has employee numbers as INT datatype and they are adding a 3 number prefix to the number making it a rather huge, in the billions. I know SQL Server 6.5 is rather limiting in these kind of cases. I would just copy the data then delete and recreate the table but there are many references to this table. Maybe if i could drop and re-add the Foreign Key contraints on the other tables i could jsut copy the data.. either or.. or maybe there is another solution?Thanks Christian-=:SpasmatiK:=- |
