I have to edit Company Name profile property in SSP. It is not allowing me edit or delete property. I need to change length value from 250 to 50. How can I do that? Can we set through code?
A:
If you have access to Sharepoint database, you can definitely do it directly there (which I do not recommend unless you're completely sure what you are doing).

In which database table I can do that? Please let me know.

I think it should be in table Lists in Content database. As I remember it contains something like 'fields' column, but I don't remember how data is represented there.

If you access any of the SharePoint databases in another way than via the object model, you will lose MS support for you entire farm.

Not to mention that an update can mess up your changes, or your change can mess up the update.

Even if you can't delete the property, you should be able to hide it and create another one with the same display name.

There is no global hide option, but there are settings for if/how it displays on the profile/edit details pages.
