| Afternoon all,Have an issue with a table that has 8 million rows in it. Now one of the colunm's has a nvarchar length of 511. After a bit of reading up on datatypes i realised that i don't need it to be a nvarchar so ithought i would change it to varchar(ALTER TABLE documentsnew ALTER COLUMN sDescription VARCHAR(510)). But too my horror it has made that table bigger then when i started. Can you help and tell me where i'm going wrongLee |
