I’m trying to rename a column using sp_rename but it’s referenced in a computed column. I’m getting the following error:
‘Table.Column’ cannot be renamed because the object participates in enforced dependencies.
As far as I can tell the (persisted) computed column is the only place this is referenced. I guess I can drop and recreate the computed column since I won’t technically be losing any data, but I wondered if there was a cleaner way?
Thanks
Phil
Given the SSMS runs into exactly the same error, I’m thinking there’s not a better way than dropping and recreating the computed column.
