How to ALTER the Table Value Parameter

问题:

I am not getting option like 'ALTER TO' when am right clicking on TVP

回答1:

Can't do it. You must drop/recreate. If you have dependencies on the TVP, you must:

1. create new TVP under new name
2. alter dependencies to use (1)
3. drop old TVP
4. recreate (1) under original name
5. alter dependencies to use (4)
6. drop (1)

I've found a blog post on sqltreeo.com which has a way to automate the process by temporary dropping the dependencies and then re-creating them.

I just modified it a bit.

1.You should create the following procedure:

-- Find all referencing objects to user-defined table type in @fullObjectName parameter
-- and generate DROP scripts and CREATE scripts for them
CREATE PROC [dbo].[alterTableType] (@fullObjectName VARCHAR(200))
AS
BEGIN
    SET NOCOUNT ON

    IF (TYPE_ID (@fullObjectName) IS NULL)
    BEGIN
        RAISERROR ('User-defined table type ''%s'' does not exists. Include full object name with schema.', 16,1, @fullObjectName)
        RETURN
    END;

    WITH sources
    AS
    (
        SELECT ROW_NUMBER() OVER (ORDER BY OBJECT_NAME(m.object_id)) RowId, definition
        FROM sys.sql_expression_dependencies d
        JOIN sys.sql_modules m ON m.object_id = d.referencing_id
        JOIN sys.objects o ON o.object_id = m.object_id
        WHERE referenced_id = TYPE_ID(@fullObjectName)
    )
    SELECT 'BEGIN TRANSACTION'
    UNION ALL   
    SELECT 

        'DROP ' +
            CASE OBJECTPROPERTY(referencing_id, 'IsProcedure')
            WHEN 1 THEN 'PROC '
            ELSE
                CASE
                    WHEN OBJECTPROPERTY(referencing_id, 'IsScalarFunction') = 1 OR OBJECTPROPERTY(referencing_id, 'IsTableFunction') = 1 OR OBJECTPROPERTY(referencing_id, 'IsInlineFunction') = 1 THEN 'FUNCTION '
                    ELSE ''
                END
            END
        + SCHEMA_NAME(o.schema_id) + '.' +
        + OBJECT_NAME(m.object_id)    

    FROM sys.sql_expression_dependencies d
    JOIN sys.sql_modules m ON m.object_id = d.referencing_id
    JOIN sys.objects o ON o.object_id = m.object_id
    WHERE referenced_id = TYPE_ID(@fullObjectName)
    UNION  ALL
    SELECT  'GO'
    UNION ALL
    SELECT CHAR(13) + CHAR(10) + '---- WRITE HERE SCRIPT TO DROP OLD USER DEFINED TABLE TYPE AND CREATE A NEW ONE ----' + CHAR(13) + CHAR(10)
    UNION  ALL
    SELECT
        CASE
            WHEN number = RowId    THEN DEFINITION
            ELSE 'GO'
        END
     FROM sources s
    JOIN (SELECT DISTINCT number FROM master.dbo.spt_values) n ON n.number BETWEEN RowId AND RowId+1
    UNION ALL
    SELECT 'COMMIT'
END

2.Then you should run it with your table type name as a input parameter. Show the results on grid format (because text format might truncate long texts), select entire result table and copy it to a new query window.
