The following is the complete syntax to alter the table.


ALTER TABLE [ database_name . [ schema_name ] . | schema_name . ] table_name
{
ALTER COLUMN column_name
{
[ type_schema_name. ] type_name [ ( { precision [ , scale ]
| max | xml_schema_collection } ) ]
[ COLLATE collation_name ]
[ NULL | NOT NULL ]
| {ADD | DROP } { ROWGUIDCOL | PERSISTED | NOT FOR REPLICATION}
}
| [ WITH { CHECK | NOCHECK } ] ADD
{
<column_definition>
| <computed_column_definition>
| <table_constraint>
} [ ,...n ]
| DROP
{
[ CONSTRAINT ] constraint_name
[ WITH ( <drop_clustered_constraint_option> [ ,...n ] ) ]
| COLUMN column_name
} [ ,...n ]
| [ WITH { CHECK | NOCHECK } ] { CHECK | NOCHECK } CONSTRAINT
{ ALL | constraint_name [ ,...n ] }
| { ENABLE | DISABLE } TRIGGER
{ ALL | trigger_name [ ,...n ] }
| SWITCH [ PARTITION source_partition_number_expression ]
TO target_table
[ PARTITION target_partition_number_expression ]
}
[ ; ]
