When I want to change column properties of an existing table in an SQL

  • 0

When I want to change column properties of an existing table in an SQL Server Express 2008 R2 database via the SQL Server Management Studio Express – it doesn’t let me.

I can view the properties but they’re all grayed out and I don’t find anything to ungray it. I’ve just migrated from Access and I’m wondering whether this just isn’t possible (there’s already data in the table – I can however delete and create new columns) or whether I’m missing something.

    Right click the table and choose “Design” instead of expanding the columns, right clicking the column and choosing “Properties”.
