I have made a table, containing an integer field, this field being used in the primary index of that table. Now I would like to replace this integer field by a character one. Therefore I need to remove all indexes of that table, including the primary one. Therefore I'm using the data dictionary, but I get following error message:
You cannot delete the primary index of a table.
How can I proceed?
Thanks

You need to first designate a different index as "primary" before you can drop the existing index. The data admin tool has a menu option for doing so:
(Your screen may look different depending on what version of Progress you are running and whether or not it is Windows. But the functionality is the same...)
If you do not have another index you will first need to create one.
