By David Postlethwaite At my presentation on SQL Server Management Studio at SQL Saturday in Exeter I promised to write some articles on Gethyn’s blog about the bits I didn’t manage to cover. You may have come across this error message when using SQL Server Management Studio It’s new in SSMS 2008. You cannot, by default, make changes to a table that will require it to be dropped and re-created. These changes are Changing data type on existing columns Or changing allow nulls on existing columns Or changing order of columns But you can turn this behaviour off Tools Menu - Options - Designers Untick "prevent saving changes that require table re-creation" But beware. If it is a table with large amount of data it could take some time to copy it from the old to the new table
