How to change the base type of a UDT in Sql Server 2005?

Question

I have my type \"x\" of type varchar(50). How can I alter it to varchar(100)? It seems I can\'t!

Answer 1

you can't. what you can do is

• script all objects that contain the type using OBJECT_DEFINITION.
• drop them.
• recreate type with new length
• recreate the objects.
