Changing a datatype for a column

  • WE have tables with millions of rows and everytime I try to rename the datatype, I always get this message

    saying a 'timeout' occured...

     

    Where can I increase this timeout connection. I'm also doing this through EOM, would it be better via QA?

  • You better copy the SQL code generated by EM into QA and run it from there.

    QA does not have timeouts. Unless you set it up.

    And better do it overnight.

  • use in query analayser the alter table statement

    for example

    alter table mytable alter column mycolumn varchar(100) NOT NULL

    Enterprise mangler does some odd things when changing tables due to backwards compatability issues

    It worked find via the QA.
