Change column type on constrained columns

By Luiz Barros, 2008/02/04

Just pass the table name, column name and new data type.

For example, if you want to alter the tblCustomers.CustomerID column type from SmallInt to INT, use:

[LSP_ChangeColumnType] @Table='tblCustomers', @Field='CustomerID', @NewDataType='INT'

Don't forget to backup your database before doing this. Can't hurt, right?
