4 steps need to be followed.

1)Drop the existing rule
2)Unbind the existing Rule
3)Create the New Rule
4)Bind the New Rule

SQL

DROP RULE [AccountStatus] as @AccountStatus

EXEC sp_unbindrule 'BsmasterAcnt.AccountStatus'

EXEC sp_bindrule  'AccountStatus','Bsmasteracnt.AccountStatus'

Solution 2

You drop the rule and create the corrected one: DROP RULE (Transact-SQL)[^]

But more importantly you should not use RULE statement. This is an old syntax which will be removed in the near future. Instead of rules. use constraints: Unique Constraints and Check Constraints[^]
