Hi,

I have master table JV_PROFILE with profile_id char(1) primary and non clustered index.

Profile_id column is refered as foreign key constraint in two other tables -
1.JV_USERS
2.JV_RIGHTS

Now i want to change data type of profile_id colmun from char(2) to int. but it did not allow as index and foregin kay constraint.

I have tried disble primary key index but still it did not allow.

Please suggest solution.

Thanks in advance.

You would need to drop the Foreign Keys then re-add them after you make the change.
