ALTER / MODIFY / OverWrite Table?

Apr 10, 2008

Hi all I was wondering how to do an ALTER command on a Table but without specifying Column Names but rather attempting to overwrite the Table itself with the new fields specified? For instance if I have Table_1 consisting of the following fields:

IDFirstNameSurname

Then use the following ALTER command:




Code Snippet
ALTER Table Table_1
(
ID Int,
FirstName VarChar(50)
)
This would then drop Surname from the Table and leave only ID and FirstName inside it. Is this possible? I have been searching google but can't seem to find what I am looking for.

Thank for comments + suggestions. Regards, Onam.

TSQL - Using ALTER TABLE - ALTER COLUMN To Modify Column Type / Set Identity Column

Sep 7, 2007

Hi 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;

SQL Server 2008 :: ALTER Database To Modify Log File

Jun 25, 2015

We are running into the following error while changing a column data type from nvarchar (1200) to varchar(8000)
"Msg 1105, Level 17, State 2, Line 1

Could not allocate space for object 'dbo.TBL1 '.'PK_CL_ID' in database 'Client01' because the 'PRIMARY' filegroup is full. Create disk space by deleting unneeded files, dropping objects in the filegroup, adding additional files to the filegroup, or setting autogrowth on for existing files in the filegroup.

The statement has been terminated."

Now tried to change the filegrowth of the log file to unlimited

ALTER DATABASE Client01
MODIFY FILE ( NAME = Client01_log, MAXSIZE = unlimited);

The query executes without error but I do not see the auto growth as unrestricted. It's still 2GB

SQL Server 2014 :: Alter Database Modify Log File

Nov 6, 2015

I can run this command to make changes for 1 DB USE [master]

GO
ALTER DATABASE [DBName] MODIFY FILE ( NAME = N'Name_log', FILEGROWTH = 10000KB )
GO

Is it possible to create a script which changes log file size to let's say 100MB for all DBs in all servers instead of running the above command by logging into each server? We have about 200 servers and close to 3000 DBs.

Modify Table To Turn OFF Autoincrement ID

Oct 4, 2013

I've a table with an ID column, it is an auto increment id column that increases by 1.

ID
--
9724
9725

When my webhost restarts SQL, or some other random act of God, this ID jumps by 1000. Today it leapt from 9725 to 10725, which just doesn't work for me. It results in my having to upload the last known good copy of the database.

My host says they can't change the 1000 row buffer, MS apparently doesn't deem this an issue, and I'm quite frustrated. I used to be able to modify certain settings in SQL since I was using an SQL 2008 database under SQL Management Console but since my host upgraded to 2012, and I'm running XP, there is no forward compatibility and many options are no longer possible (eg. modifying a column, now it has to be done via clicking query and entering a SQL command rather than just right clicking on the column)

So long story made short... is there a way to modify my table (named "places") to turn OFF the autoincrement Id and perform a simple means to figure out the next possible value?

example:
id, place, locstion, gps, v2, v3, v4, comment
================================================
9720, Bill's House, Toronto, 43.4453, y, n, c, This was a good place to eat
9721, Dime a Dozen, Cambridge, 42.4453, n, e, d, A good place to take photos

I'd have to pull the highest value of ID (+1 to it) and then do a standard INSERT into places (id, place, location, gps, v2, v3, v4, comment) values (9722, etc...)I guess my concern is if the autoidentity is turned off, will SQL allow a new value to be entered via INSERT? I'm also using the @@identity to find the last known ID when I want to direct the user to the entry that they've just created and I don't know what that # is just yet. Would the @@identity still work?

Modify Table Structure Via Stored Procedure(?)

Jun 9, 2008

Our ERP vendor is helping us migrate from one version of their product to another. In the new version, they have added some columns and changed a few data types in several existing tables.

They sent us a list of the modifications that were necessary, which we did (painstakingly) by hand. But, for other reasons the update failed and we have to start anew.

This got me thinking: is there any way to do this kind of update via a script/stored procedure? I don't have their exact changes handy, but it was stuff like the table "inmast" needs a column of varchar(50) called "lotc" added to it, and the "intime" table needs the datatype of columns "Mon" "Tue" "Wed" changed from text to varchar(50), stuff like that.

Is it possible to do stuff like that in a SP?

Read, Modify Table (locking) Question

Feb 3, 2006

I am quite new to MS SQL, and I want to read rows from a todo table, andwhen a row has been processed, I want to delete that row.Ages ago in MySQL I would probably have locked the table, select, processa row, delete a row, unlock the table.I have been reading through the documentation from MS SQL, but it's notclear what exactly I should do.Since I want to lock only one table in the select (the others just providedata, and are not modified), what's a good solution?--John MexIT: http://johnbokma.com/mexit/personal page: http://johnbokma.com/Experienced programmer available: http://castleamber.com/Happy Customers: http://castleamber.com/testimonials.html

Open Table With Query To Modify Data

Jul 23, 2007

In Enterprise Manager, I would right click on the table, choose Open Table and Query where I could select specific records and (most importantly) could alter data in a record by deleting the text, adding or over-typing.



In 2005 Server Management Studio I just cannot figure how to do this. I'm guessing that I need the 'Script Table as' option but then what?



I have managed to open selected data using the New Query and then Design Query in Editor, but the results only appear in a kind of view form and I cannot seem to alter any of the data entries, I get dotted lines around the selected field.



Please help, it seemed so much easier in 2000!

How To Alter Column Length Of The Master Table Along With The Slave Table?

Aug 13, 2006

In 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 SWITCH PARTITION On A Replicated Table

Apr 10, 2007

A customer wants to implement table partitioning on a replicated table.



They want to hold 13 months of data in the table and roll off the earliest/oldest month to an identical archive table. The table has a date field and partitioning by month makes sense all around.



So SWITCH PARTITION is the obvious solution to this, except for the fact that the table is replicated (transactional w/no subscriber updates).



What are his architectural or practical solutions to using table partitioning and replication?

Transactional Repln,how To Modify The Width Of A Column Of A Table Which Is Replicated

Aug 3, 2006

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 €ścol1€? 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 -
