Warehouse DDL Support for ALTER COLUMN

[JochenAbild]

Could the DDL-support in Warehouse get closer to what we have in Synapse/SQL Server?

ALTER COLUMN would be much approciated.

We are actively working on adding the ALTER TABLE ALTER COLUMN (NULLABLE) support in Warehouse. Just wanted to understand your specific requirements and use cases around it. Are you specifically looking for capability to change the data type of a column to accommodate large or precise value without table reconstruction?

Thanks for the feedback and for planning the enhancement. To answer the question: yes

In the end it would be great to have the same ALTER COLUMN possibilities as with SQL Server on premise
