Create table User_Details as shown below.
CREATE TABLE [dbo].[Users_Details](
[Username]
[nchar](20) NOT NULL,
[Password]
[nchar](20) NOT NULL,
[Email]
[nchar](30) NULL,
[Mobile]
[nchar](15) NULL,
[Address]
[nchar](100) NULL,
[USER_ID]
[int] IDENTITY(1,1) NOT NULL,
[Gender]
[varchar](15)
NULL,
[Country]
[varchar](50)
NULL,
CONSTRAINT [PK_Username] PRIMARY
KEY CLUSTERED
(
[Username]
ASC
)
)
|
When you alter the column as
ALTER TABLE Users_details
ALTER COLUMN USERname NVARCHAR(100)
|
and execute it shows below error.Because Username column contains Primary Key.
Msg 5074, Level 16, State 1, Line 1
The object 'PK_Username' is
dependent on column 'Username'.
Msg 4922, Level 16, State 9, Line 1
ALTER TABLE ALTER COLUMN Username failed because
one or more objects access this column.
|
First Drop the Primary Key Constraint and alter table and add Primary Key Constraint
ALTER TABLE
Users_Details
DROP CONSTRAINT PK_Username
ALTER TABLE
Users_Details
ALTER COLUMN
Username NVARCHAR(100) NOT NULL
ALTER TABLE
Users_Details
ADD CONSTRAINT PK_Username PRIMARY KEY(Username)
