SQL Alter Table Statement With Bit's
Oct 13, 2000Hi List,
I am trying to add a column with Alter Table, like this:
ALTER TABLE myTable ADD
newColumn bit DEFAULT 0 NOT NULL
This works fine with SQL-server 7, but I get this error in 6.5:
'ALTER TABLE only allows columns to be added which can contain nulls. Column 'newColumn' cannot be added to table 'myTable' because it does not allow nulls.'
I also found this in the help files:
'Columns added to a table must be defined as NULL. When a column is added, the initial value for the column will be set to NULL. This restriction forces the ALTER TABLE statement to fail if the bit or timestamp datatypes are used.'
My question, is there any other way to do this on 6.5 ?

Sql Mobile Alter Statement
Jul 19, 2006 Here is the alter statement that I am trying to use to create a relationship between 2 tables. This does not seem to work on mobile. What am I doing wrong?
ALTER TABLE [SubCategory] CONSTRAINT [FK_SubCategory_Category] FOREIGN KEY([CategoryID])
REFERENCES [Category] ([CategoryID])
ON UPDATE CASCADE
ON DELETE CASCADE
This is the error:
There was an error parsing the query. [ Token line number = 1,Token line offset = 27,Token in error = CONSTRAINT ]
ALTER PROCEDURE Statement Within IF EXISTS
May 28, 2002Hello.
I'm trying to create a batch sql script which first alters some existing tables via the ALTER TABLE command, I then want to alter some existing stored procedures via the ALTER PROCEDURE command within the same batch. I have found that I can encompas the alter table scripts within a conditional IF EXISTS (Begin/End) but not the alter procesdure scripts. I have looked in reference material and have found nothing to suggest this type of operation is not possible. Is this possible? Is this a know bug fixed by a service pack?
Thanks in advance for any replies.

Estimate Log Space For Alter Table Statement
Jan 31, 2007My client's website database is hosted by a third party. I need to alter one of the column definitions for the largest table in the database. Unfortunately, the transaction log fills up if I try to alter the table. I've done all the usual stuff like truncating the log, etc., but the simple fact is that the operation requires more log space than we have available. Therefore, we need to purchase additional disk space for the database.
What I'm looking for is a way to roughly estimate how much log space will be required to alter this table so that we purchase enough but not too much additional space. The table has an identity primary key and 4 other single column indexes: one int, one datetime and two varchar(30) columns.
Any suggestions? Thanks in advance.
Code Skipping The Alter Statement!! URGENT!!
May 14, 2002I have coded an alter statement for adding a column to a temp table inside an sp,but it skips the alter statement while executing the sp! This happens even if I run the same code on query analyzer too. If I use 'GO' statement before the alter command,then it works fine on Query Analyzer.But, I can't use 'GO' in an sp. I am using the sa account. Any ideas on how to fix this??
Thanks.

Transact SQL :: ALTER Statement Is Not Getting Executed In A Batch
May 7, 2015I have written the following code:
SET NOCOUNT ON
DECLARE @RowCount int; SET @RowCount = 0;
Begin Try
Begin Transaction
--------------------------------------------------------
-----Table Name: AlertsStaticRecord_Archive
-----Column Name: AlertID
--------------------------------------------------------
ALTER TABLE [AlertsStaticRecord_Archive] ALTER COLUMN [AlertID] int NOT NULL;
[Code] .....
But, when I execute these batch, I am getting error:
Msg 8111, Level 16, State 1, Line 11
Cannot define PRIMARY KEY constraint on nullable column in table 'AlertsStaticRecord_Archive'.
Msg 1750, Level 16, State 0, Line 11
Could not create constraint. See previous errors.
Because, the first ALTER statement is not getting executed.
Can't Rollback Alter Database Statement DDL Trigger
Feb 26, 2008Recently I created a DDL Server-scope trigger using the following:
create trigger stop_alter_database on all server
for ALTER_DATABASE
as
rollback;
print 'database change stopped by stop_alter_database';
go
Then I ran the following script:
alter database [test] modify file (name=test', maxsize=2028mb);
The result was:
Msg 3609, Level 16, State 2, Line 1
The transaction ended in the trigger. The batch has been aborted.
database change stopped by stop_alter_database
The problem is that when I checked the max size of the data file it had changed. So, the statement was never rolled back. Is there something I'm missing because I can't find any documentation or articles that state the inability to rollback alter database statements. Whats going on?

Check For Column Existance Before Alter Table Statement
Feb 14, 2000Hello all,
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?
DB Engine :: Does ALTER COLUMN Statement Converts Data?
Oct 8, 2015I've some huge table (over 100GB each), these table contain column of NTEXT, IMAGE. Application team needs to change these data types to VARBINARY(MAX), I've tested the modification in our lab and I noticed that the operation has been almost immediate so, I think that DB Engnine has not converted the existing data in the column but it has simply changed the definition of the column.
Or maybe NTEXT and IMAGE can be transparently converted into VARBINARY(MAX)?
Anyway, I want to be sure that the modified table is "coherent" I don't want that at a given point SQL Server tells me that some data is not readable.

Autoincrement Manually
Jun 24, 2008Hi All,
This may sound quite easy for you, however I am a newbie in SQL.
So I have an identity field, which I wish to increment automatically every time I do an insert. However the starting integer has to be the MAX value from another table.
So for example I am doing an insert in a #temp table
INSERT INTO #temp(name, surname)
SELECT name, surname from table1
Now the personId of the #temp table has to start from the MAX of table2
Ie SELECT MAX(personId) from table2
The SELECT MAX(personId) from table2 can also be NULL, ie the first time I am inserting, so I also have to cater for this scenario.
can anyone help?
Thanks
Johann
