what would be the simplest way to change every nvarchar column in a database to a varchar?
I personally would prefer nvarchar, but the data arch has specified that v
Ask the data arch to do it?
or
Generate a script of all objects in your system, alter then nvarchar's, then create a new database and import the data into it from the old one.
or
Write alter scripts to update the existing database.
(This may be the best approach if it's a production database, or a client database.)
