Save (Not Permitted) Dialog Box

The Save (Not Permitted) dialog box warns you that saving changes is not permitted because the changes you have made require the listed tables to be dropped and re-created.

The following actions might require a table to be re-created:

  • Adding a new column to the middle of the table
  • Dropping a column
  • Changing column nullability
  • Changing the order of the columns
  • Changing the data type of a column

To change this option, on the Tools menu, click Options, expand Designers, and then click Table and Database Designers. Select or clear the Prevent saving changes that require the table to be re-created check box.

what will happen to existing records      Balki-eprm ... Tai Yee -- MSFT   |   Edit   |  

If the table has been re-created when we make the changes, then what will happen to our data inside the table and the constraints?

[Tai Yee - MSFT] Hi, the best way to get questions answered is to post in the Microsoft Community Forum. The SQL Server Forums are located here: http://forums.microsoft.com/MSDN/default.aspx?ForumGroupID=19&SiteID=1. You may want to post this to the Database Engine and/or the Tools forums.
