Can’t save your table changes in SQL2008 Management Studio

Posted on by

In SQL Server 2008, when you do some changes on a table and save it you’ll get a warning message like below

Saving changes is not permitted. The changes you have made require the following tables to be dropped and re-created. You have either made changes to a table that can’t be re-created or enabled the option Prevent saving changes that require the table to be re-created.

What the… that didn’t happen to me in SQL Server 2005 nor previous versions of SQL Server. So there is definitely a behaviour change in the new management studio. Luckily this behaviour can be disabled, which I found it in Brian Knight’s blog here. You just need to go to Tools -> Options then go to the Designer Page and uncheck "Prevent saving changes that require table re-creation".

I really like Microsoft’s new I’m a PC ad concept. While its a counter measure to Apple I’m a Mac ad, I’m a PC is more approachable than the former. Now they have a website to upload your own ‘I’m a PC’ quote as well! Now I can wait to get my hand on one of those I’m a PC T-shirts.

By the way, while the new Macbook Pro does come with a couple of innovations, doesn’t it in a way looks like a Sony Vaio? And Steve’s mentioned about they not interested in touchscreen? Between the lines, it means, "we are working on something super secretive about touchscreen which I won’t leak out at the moment"

Copy/ Cut & Paste not working in Vista (sometimes in Windows XP too)

If you have such problem, then it is because the chipboard (the place where your cut/ copy content is stored) is opened by another process causing it not accessable from Windows. To fix it you need to shudown the application/ process.

To find out which process is opening the clipboard you can download the following application called GetOpenClipboardWindow.
