Example (Microsoft SQL Server):
CREATE TABLE test_index
(
col INT NOT NULL,
col2 INT NOT NULL,
col3 INT NOT NULL UNIQUE,
col4 VARCHAR(200)
);
CREATE UNIQUE INDEX aaaa ON test_index (col, col2);
ALTER TABLE test_index
DROP COLUMN col;
You cannot delete the col column because it is in the indexed table. To delete the column, you need to delete the
aaaa index first (for example, DROP INDEX aaaa).
