Hi,
I am trying to do bunch of alters (ex: trying to drop one col from a table), I get this error on one of the tables.

Msg 5074, Level 16
Stats 'ORG' is dependent on col 'ORG'.

What does stats have to do with alter?
Where can I find explanation to error messages?

thanks,
Sarat

You probably have a set of statistics for that column. Try DROP STATISTICS ORG and see if it drops them. Once that's done you should be able to drop the column.
