How do you change the datatype of a column in SQL Server?

ALTER TABLE TableName 
ALTER COLUMN ColumnName NVARCHAR(200) [NULL | NOT NULL]

EDIT As noted NULL/NOT NULL should have been specified, see Rob's answer as well.


Don't forget nullability.

ALTER TABLE <schemaName>.<tableName>
ALTER COLUMN <columnName> nvarchar(200) [NULL|NOT NULL]

Use the Alter table statement.

Alter table TableName Alter Column ColumnName nvarchar(100)
