Hi

suppose that I have a set named 'my_set' wich contain
'aaa','bbb','cc c'
and I want to alter with an sql command the structure to get 'ddd' in
addition. How can I do that?

Does "My_Set" refer to a table? If so, you add a new column to the table
using the ALTER TABLE statement. For example:

ALTER TABLE my_set ADD ddd INTEGER NULL

MSSQL doesn't have a 'set data type' - are you using MySQL, perhaps?
If so, you will get a better answer in a MySQL forum.

No, my_set is a field, a SET data type

There is no SET datatype in SQL Server (unless you it's a user-defined
type you added yourself.) Are you in the wrong newsgroup?

There is no base datatype called "SET" in SQL Server.

You may have a user-defined datatype of that name. There is no way to alter
the definition of an existing datatype - you have to drop it and then
recreate it - but I'm not even sure if your question relates to altering the
datatype or the data within it.

Simon suggested that maybe this is a MySQL question. If that's the case then
please try a MySQL forum. This is a SQL Server group.

I am trying to alter the ForeColor of a TextBox object so that parts of the displayed text are written in various colors. For example, when writing to the TextBox I wish to display parts of the text in red and then other parts of the text in black. Is it possible to do this with the TextBox object or do I need to use the RichTextBox object? Thank you for your help! Scott

Hi, I'd like to know whether there is a way to alter the data type of a VARCHAR FOR BIT DATA column to be simply a VARCHAR column? I executed an ALTER TABLE statement, similar to, ALTER TABLE tab_name ALTER COLUMN col_name SET DATA TYPE VARCHAR(100) without any problems. However, a simple Java application reports via JDBC that the column type is still VARCHAR FOR BIT DATA.
