How do I drop a column with object dependencies in SQL Server 2008?

Question

The error message I\'m obtaining when trying to drop a column:

The object \'defEmptyString\' is dependent on column \'fkKeywordRolleKontakt\'.

Msg

Answer 1

I ran into a simpler solution.

1. DELETE the data of that column.
2. Once the column has no value inside it do -

ALTER TABLE DROP COLUMN

This way the column is easily dropped.

P.S - This is a headache if you have like extreme amounts of data in the column.
