Changing the datatype of a column which is part of a PK

Hi All
I have a table made up of 2 columns as the PK. I am trying to write a script
that changes the datatype of one of the columns which is part of the primary
key. This is what i have tried but i seem not to be getting anywhere:
ALTER TABLE TB1 DROP CONSTRAINT PK_TB1
ALTER COLUMN ACCOUNT VARCHAR(20) NOT NULL
Is there a way to do this? I tried to drop the PKs and then do the changes
and then recreate the PK again. All this gave me errors. Thank you in
advance.> Is there a way to do this? I tried to drop the PKs and then do the changes

What does "tried" mean? What errors?
This is the way you do it. You drop the constraints (both primary *and*
foreign key), you change the column, you re-apply the constraints.|||Thank you. It worked.

changing TCP/IP port breaks "local" connection

Hi All:
I wanted to change the TCP/IP port a default instance of SQL was
running on (from 1433 to something random like 49576) on Win2K AS
(sp4+). SQL's got TCP/IP and NamedPipes libraries active. I believe
MDAC 2.8 is installed.
The server has a base IP of 192.168.1.190 and a website running on
192.168.1.191. The website uses a SQL0LEDB.1 connection to the
database using "local" for the server name.
This all runs fine when the SQL server's on 1433, but if I change it
to another port, it breaks the connection from the website to the SQL
server. Restarting services doesn't help, even rebooting doesn't
restore the connection. If I switch the SQL Server back to 1433 it
runs fine.
I tested the same thing on a server running Win2003, and the website
didn't have a problem connecting to the SQL server when I changed the
TCP/IP port.
Any ideas why this breaks on Win2K?
TIA
check 1434
and
delete

Thanks, Alexsandar. What do you mean by "check 1434"? I have TCP/UDP
1434 disabled because I don't want to broadcast or receive on the
"slammer" port.

One other question...Can I avoid this problem by using Named Pipes?
I will only ever be connecting to the local machine from this
website. I thought using "(local)" for the server bypassed TCP/IP
altogether?
Or does this problem have nothing to do with TCP/IP?

make alias for sql server in alias tab, write sql server alias, sql name and
tcp/ip port
or
make alias with named pipe

changing lable in bar chart

hi all

i am using bar chart in my reports , i want to show the intervel on my y axis like

0k,2k,4k,6k,.......

but it is showing like 0,2000,4000,6000 .... by default . i dont know hoe to achieve this please help.

Hi,

In the Value expression for the Data you are showing, divide by 1000. For example if the expression currently is

Fields!XYZ.Value, make it Fields!XYZ.Value/1000.

Then go to the Y Axis tab and in the Format Code option, put the value 0k.

I think this should give you the desired output.

Changing From Windows To Mixed Authentication

Hi All

I am trying to switch from Windows to Mixed mode authentication on SQL
Server 2000. I am right-clicking the server instance in Enterprise
Manager and selecting the correct option from the Security tab.

Unfortunately, the change I make does not persist when I click OK. I
get no error message, but when I re-open the server properties, the
option has returned to being Windows authentication.

Any ideas?

Thanks,

Kulgan.Did you restart the service ?

HTH, Jens Suessmeyer.|||Hi

I stopped and started the service using Enterprise Manager (i.e. right
click the server in Enterprise Manager and select Stop from the menu,
the start again using Start from the same menu).

Do I need to stop and start using some other method?

Thanks,

Kulgan.|||--------------------

INF: How to Change the Default Login Authentication Mode to SQL While
Installing SQL Server 2000 Desktop Engine by Using Windows Installer
--------------------
<snip>
Another way to change the security mode after installation is to stop
SQL Server and set the appropriate registry key for your installation:

Default instance:
HKLM\Software\Microsoft\MSSqlserver\MSSqlServer\Lo ginMode

Named instance:
HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Microsoft SQL Server\Instance
Name\MSSQLServer\LoginMode

to 2 for mixed-mode or 1 for integrated. (Integrated is the default
setup for the SQL Server 2000 Data Engine.)
