  Unable to alter column in table due to default value

  I am changing int to bigint

  Getting below error

  Msg 5074, Level 16, State 1, Line 1

  The object 'DF__ID_SEQ__MAX_VALU__5DEAEAF5' is dependent on column 'MAX_VALUE'.

  Msg 4922, Level 16, State 9, Line 1

  ALTER TABLE ALTER COLUMN MAX_VALUE failed because one or more objects access this column.

  Please suggest

  There's a default dependant on the column. Drop that first.
