Re: Enterprise Mgr - alter table fails



I thought I would let you know that I found the problem. The
XACT_ABORT option had been turned on server-wide. The new tools with
SQL 2005 allow you to turn that option off/on in the server properties
and someone had turned it on. Once I turned it back off, Enterprise
Manager worked like a champ again. Guess this is why we have
development servers - to learn lessons the hard way.

Thanks all!

That you know of. Some of the problems that I pointed out are of the
kind that you may not notice directly when they cause problems. If you
lose an FK constraint, you may not notice until years later when you find
some junk in the column.
