| Hi peeps I'm a bit stuckI need to script a change to a column in a table so it is case sensitive. The following SQL should be able to do itALTER TABLE myTableALTER COLUMN myColumn CHAR(2)COLLATE Latin1_General_CS_ASHowever i get an error saying'The index 'IX_mytable' is dependent on column 'myColumn'I'm assuming I also need some syntax to change the collation in the index but have no idea how to go about doing so. Can anyone help wiht this?303 |

| I think you just need to Drop the index, run your ALTER, and then Re-create the indexYou should be able to script the existing index in SSMS. |
