Hi All, I am trying to change column name on an existing table. I am using SQL Server 7. As the table is quite big, it is taking quite long time to do it. By the way I could change the column name only through the Enterprize Manager. Is it possible to change the column name using SQL script? Why the change of column name will depend on the size of the table?

Hi If all you can do with ALTER TABLE....ALTER COLUMN is change the datatype/size then how do I change the name of a field?

In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not.
