| text doesn't have different sizes. Are you referring to char or varchar? If so you can alter it with ALTER TABLE.Tara |

| how can the length of a text column be too short?? you probably mean varchar, right?you could do it in enterprise manage in design table mode and simply change the length or you can use:alter table TableName ALTER COLUMN columnName VARCHAR(20) -- 20 = new lengthGo with the flow & have fun! Else fight the flow :) |
