I am running a script against a couple of databases on my SQL Server 2000 Standard Edition Instance and I am getting the following in the results pane:
"Default bound to column" I have searched the MS Knowledge base and found a couple of vague references to this. Does anyone know why I might be getting this??? the script 'seems' to run fine.. except for the funky error in the results pane. Script is attached. Thank you!!
I am doing a little research on Google about this topic and I ran intothis thread:http://groups.google.com/group/micr...dc13d4ee6758966I read SQL Server MVP Louis Davidson's post saying:"Actually they are more likely to drop the concept of bound defaults.Constraints are the standard way to do this, and really should be the wayyou create defaults anyhow."Even I read in the Microsoft SQL Server Introduction (SQL 7 bookpage 244, however we're using SQL Server 2000):"Constraints define rules regarding the values allowed in columns and arethe standard mechanism for enforcing integrity, preferred over triggers,rules, and defaults. They are also used by the query optimizer to improveperformance in selectivity estimation, cost calculations, and queryrewriting."Why constraint defaults are better? The second sentence about constraintshaving better optimization, I am guessing they don't mean this aboutDefault Constraints, rather the other type of constraints?Because I don't see how a Default Constraint have anything to do withperformance? Isn't default only to do with new records being created?At work we are setting all tables' columns to have constraint defaultsof 0 or ' ' (space character) in order not to have any column with theNULL value. Therefore we have dozens of files containing statements like:alter table TABLE1 add constraint TABLE1_ID_DFDEFAULT(' ') FOR IDgoalter table TABLE1 add constraint TABLE1_QUANTITY_DFDEFAULT(0) FOR QUANTITYgoFirst I was thinking to create 3 SQL Defaults called:DefaultZeroDefaultSpaceDefaultDateand then bind these defaults to all the columns of all tables excludingprimary keys. After creating the tables I would enumerate throughall the columns and bind one of these three Defaults based on theirdatatype:number = DefaultZerotext type = DefaultSpacedate type = DefaultDateAnd then unbind the ones that we specifically need to specify otherdefault values.So my question is should I do this by using sp_binddefault or stickwith using Default Constraints inside a table/columns loop code?Thank you

I have 2 databases on my sql server. If i choose the other one then this query runs but, if i choose the one that contains the tables I just get that error.Strange part is that it runs under the database that doesn't even contains the table.
If i remove qty from the list then it runs ok. both tables have a qty column. What I'm doing wrong? Any help would be appreciated.

when creating a new table. How can I set the default value of the column to equal the value of another column in the same table?
View 5 Replies View RelatedWell here's one of those excruciatingly simple obstacles:
In SQL Server 2005 (Mgmt Studio): according to BOL, the syntax to set a default value for an existing column is:
ALTER TABLE MyCustomers ALTER COLUMN CompanyName SET DEFAULT 'A. Datum Corporation'
However, when I Check:
alter table CommissionPayment alter column Amount Set Default 0
I get the error message:
"Incorrect syntax near the keyword 'Set'."
No other combinations of this syntax work.
Help! What am I missing?
I have a UDF that returns a char(10) random value. This runs fine when calling it directly via Query Analyzer, Stored Procs, etc.
I now want to create a new column in a table (via the Table Designer) and want to set the default value to the function. I have entered dbo.f_myfunction() for "Default Value", but I get an error:
Unable to modify table.
ODBC error: [Microsoft][ODBC SQL Server Driver][SQL Server]Could not create constraint. See previous errors.
[Microsoft][ODBC SQL Server Driver][SQL Server]SqlDumpExceptionHandler: Process 51 generated fatal exception c0000005 EXCEPTION_ACCESS_VIOLATION. SQL Server is terminating this process.
The function is in the same database as the table. This is all on my local database where I am the admin.
I have also tried database.dbo.f_myfunction(), but I get an Invalid Object error.
Any help would be appreciated. Thank you,

Hi
I have a table with the list of employee and 15 column with data type float or money , that represent the number of hours, airfare,gas,parking food, etc....
I have 2 choice:
-Put 0 as a default value for each column, like that I do not have to use coalesce when I do SUM for each column.
-Leave the default value null but I will have to use coalesce.
In term of performance, what is the best solution?
Thanks

I would like to have the date value 1/1/2499 entered as the default value in a date field if no value is specified. I have added 1/1/2499 as the default value for the column however when I insert a record into the table the date 1/1/1900 is entered even though I haven't specified a date. Any way to accomplish this? Thanks.

View 7 Replies View RelatedI know that the correct syntax to set the default on a column in SQL Server 2005 is:
Alter Table <TableName> Add Constraint <ConstraintName> Default <DefaultValue> For <ColumnName>
But from what I can gather, the SQL-92 syntax is:
Alter Table <TableName> Alter Column <ColumnName> Set Default <DefaultValue>
This generates an error on SQL Server 2005.
Am I wrong about the standard syntax for this statement? If this is the standard, why doesn't SQL Server 2005 support it? I am trying to avoid code that will only work on certain database managers.
Thanks.
Hello all,
I have a table with a column:
ThruDate datetime not null
I have a function call set up as default for the col
([dbo].[fn_DateHigh_Get1]())
I have a stored procedure that inserts into the table - it expects @ThruDate as a parm. I default the parm to NULL -
When the sp executes its insert stmt i get error 515 (null cannot be inserted....).
When i just enter the row manually in enterprise manger (and just tab through the ThruDate col) all is well - ThruDate gets the default as calculated by function [dbo].[fn_DateHigh_Get1]()
Why does the sp fail - i.e. why isn't the default applied?
thanks
