I have a column on a table that is set to varchar(40).

I need to increase that 40, but I don't want to lose any of the data in the 
table.

The only suggestions I've seen online involve dropping the column and 
re-creating it, or creating a new table. But I would like to preserve the name 
of this table.

If I make a copy table, can I rename it after I drop the original?

What is the best way to accomplish this?

Thanks!
