Hi pcwc66,

you can replace the old ADT with a new ADT and then replace the new ADT with another ADT which has the same name as the old ADT but has the definition of the new ADT. The procedure provided in the article allows you to do it.

There is no way to suppress SQL Server from checking ADT existence in other SQL Server objects.

Please read more on ADT in coming parts of this article.
