Author timeout when changing data type
bic

Hi,

I got a timeout error when attempting to change the data type on our
transactional db. I understand that archive on this db is long over due but
I wonder if I can get around it for now and update the data type first?
Thanks.

Don't use Enterprise Manager to make this change - use the ALTER TABLE
command...
