I’m trying to update the length of a varchar column from 255 characters to 500 without losing the contents. I’ve dropped and re-created tables before but I’ve never been exposed to the alter statement which is what I believe I need to use to do this. I found the documentation here: ALTER TABLE (Transfact-SQL) however I can’t make heads or tails of it.
I have the following so far (essentially nothing unfortunately):
alter table [progennet_dev].PROGEN.LE
alter column UR_VALUE_3
How do I approach this? Is there better documentation for this statement out there (I did some searches for an example statement but came up empty)?
