It is not a real index but exists as statistics only

neo
Hi,
On SQL2k with SP3,
I wtote a script to change data type for a column in several tables.
eq. alter table CorrectionEQDiv Alter Column qSrc int not null
I'm getting an error saying
"ALTER TABLE ALTER COLUMN qSrc failed because one or more objects
access this
column."

So I looked at the table and found there are some "STATISTICS" on the
column,
causing the Alter Table failure.

I tested the ALTER TABLE on test DB
and it worked and that DB doesn't have this "Internat index".
But when I ran my script to another DB, I got that error.
Both DB have Auto Create Stats. option ON.
There is no replication.
Anyone have any idea?
Thanks,

EXEC ('CREATE STATISTICS [qSrc] ON [dbo].[CorrectionEQDiv] ([qSrc]) ')
