Yes, that can be the reason but i think something like this will be also not possible - if you change datatype of domain not only collation – i think. But this should be possible by introduce command like ALTER DOMAIN ALTER TYPE VARCHAR(150) COLLATION PXW_PLK REBUILD; <- here we add rebuild command. But i think about BLR – is colltion compiled into blr of procedures and triggers? If yes then also this objects should be rebuilded by “REBUILD” command. Now doing something like this makes you have a headache regards, Karol Bieniaszewski [Non-text portions of this message have been removed]
