ALTER TABLE Production.Product NOCHECK CONSTRAINT CK_Product_DaysToManufacture
GO

-- SQL enable constraint
ALTER TABLE Production.Product CHECK CONSTRAINT CK_Product_DaysToManufacture

GO

-- SQL enable constraint with check of current data
ALTER TABLE Production.Product WITH CHECK

-- SQL enable constraint with no check of current data
ALTER TABLE Production.Product WITH NOCHECK
CHECK CONSTRAINT CK_Product_DaysToManufacture

-- Check integrity of all constraints on a table
DBCC CHECKCONSTRAINTS('Production.Product');
GO
/* DBCC execution completed. If DBCC printed error messages,
contact your system administrator.
