The only thing I have needed to do, is to increase the size of a varchar
field.

That's easy though, just use

alter table alter FieldName type NewType;

As long as your stored procs are all dropped, you have no constraints on
that field, and you are increasing not decreasing the field size it
works wonderfully.
