Force Modification of a User Defined Function

Is there a way to force the modification of a User Defined Function upon which depend other objects.

This is the message:

Msg 3729, Level 16, State 3, Procedure FunctionName, Line 22

Cannot ALTER 'FunctionName' because it is being referenced by object 'OtherObject'.

I have 48 objects related to the function and each time I need modify the function is a big pain.

Any help will be much appreciated.

Best Regards

Sorry, but AFAIK there is no switch to do so. If you have a computede column are something else bound to that function you have to drop and recreate the referencing object / Column or something else.

HTH; Jens Suessmeyer.|||We have currently ran into this issue but found the following solution helpful.

Originally, we were adding a scalar function to a computed column in a table. We received the same error message whenever we attempted to modify the scalar function.

However, if we created a view of the same table and included the scalar function as a column, we were able to modify the scalar without problems. That is to say, we were able to modify the scalar function definition (not the view result) without problems.

Hope this helps,
