Anastasia writes "Dear people,
We have a table that has only nonclustered indexes.

It has column
pricing_note varchar(255)

When I apply this script to T_company
-- -- --
ALTER TABLE T_COMPANY ALTER COLUMN pricing_note varchar(1000) NOT NULL
GO
-- -- --
I get this message:

Server: Msg 1903, Level 16, State 1, Line 1
900 is the maximum allowable size of an index.
The composite index specified is 1000 bytes.

Please explain why this message is happening and how can I fix it or determine
what causes the problem.

Thank you.
Anastasia"
