Question
What command would I execute to safely change (i.e. from int to bigint) a replicated column's data type in SQL Server 2005?
The column is not a key. There is a non-clustered index on the column.
Solution
ALTER TABLE MyTable
ALTER COLUMN myIntCol bigint
From BOL:
By default, the following schema changes made at a Publisher running SQL Server are replicated to all SQL Server Subscribers:
- ALTER TABLE
- ALTER VIEW
- ALTER PROCEDURE
- ALTER FUNCTION
- ALTER TRIGGER
