Default Property (Column, UserDefinedDatatype)
This feature will be removed in a future version of Microsoft SQL Server. Avoid using this feature in new development work, and plan to modify applications that currently use this feature.
The Default property identifies a Microsoft SQL Server default bound to a column or user-defined data type.
Syntax
object
.Default [=value]
Parts
- object
An expression that evaluates to an object in the Applies To list
- value
The name of a default defined in the SQL Server database
Data Type
String
Modifiable
Read/write
Prototype (C/C++)
HRESULT GetDefault(SQLDMO_LPBSTR pRetVal);
HRESULT SetDefault(SQLDMO_LPCSTR NewValue);
Note
SQL Distributed Management Objects (SQL-DMO) strings are always returned as OLE BSTR objects. A C/C++ application obtains a reference to the string. The application must release the reference using SysFreeString.
Remarks
The BindToColumn and BindToDatatype methods of the Default object can also set this property.
