SQL 2012 :: NewSequentialID - Error Validating The Default For Column

Oct 8, 2014

Microsoft SQL Server 2012 - 11.0.2100.60 (X64) Enterprise Edition (64-bit) on Windows NT 6.1 <X64> (Build 7601: Service Pack 1)

we are using the default of newsequentialID() as the key on some tables and getting the error
Error validating the default for column xxx

When first saving the table if the value is entered as newsequentialid() the save works but on any subsequent design change I get the error.

If you click Yes to continue it works fine.

The value that is in there once its saved shows up as (newsequentialid()) if you change it back to not have the outer parenthesis it saves without issue.

Computed Column - Error Validating Formula

Sep 13, 2007



I want to create a computed column with this formula:


ISNULL(NULLIF (tot_mnc, 0) / NULLIF (repl_value, 0), 0)

It works in a straight select query, but when I put it in the formula of the table design window, I get an error "Error validating the formula for column 'test_fci'"

I don't know if it's relevant but repl_value is itself a computed column with the formula:


(repl_value_e_g + repl_value_aux)

Is it possible to use the system functions in a computed column? If not, how would I pass those values into a udf and use it for the formula?

Thanks.

Error Validating Any Check Constraint

Aug 19, 2006

Hey Guys,



I just this day started using SQL sever 2005. I created a database and
then created a table. Then I started adding some fields. I wanted to
add a check constraint to one of the fields called state but I keep
getting the same error. I right click on the field while editing the
table and select check constraint. I then click add on the check
constraint dialogue and in the expression caption I input the
following:



<code>

@State In('CA', 'AZ', 'UT', 'CO')

</code>


I am using a book and have straight copied the above example from
the book. However when I input the check constraint I get the following
error;



"Error validating constraint 'ck_myfirstdatabase'


I have tried this with other fields and other types of check
constraints and I still get the same error. I have tried to delete the
database and recreate it. I have tried everything I can think of and I
cannot seem to get check constraints to work. I have no idea why I keep
getting this message. I have checked the
examples a
thousand times, the syntax is definately correct. This is getting
extremely annoying as I cannot continue unless I do this. I'm all out
of ideas. Can anyone please tell me
why it could not be working? Any ideas would be greatly appreciated.

Cannot Set Default Value For Column Using Alter Column

May 16, 2006

Well 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?

Using UDF As A Default Value For A Column

Oct 17, 2006

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,

JLM

Column Null Or 0 Default Value

Feb 3, 2005

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

Set Default Value For A Char Column??

Sep 25, 2006

I have a char(11) for SSN, and I would like to default it to123-45-6789 so I can avoid having nulls in this column, and so I caneasily find the rows in which I need to have a 'correct' SSNentered/updated.I tried using just 123-45-6789, and SQL2005 doesn't seem to bedefaulting to this value, it seems to be keeping it as(((123)-(45))-(6789), and not placing it into this column when a newrow is created....Is there some special way I must specify defaults for a char(11) field(Yes, I will include the dashes).Thank you,Tom

Alter Column To Set Default

Aug 23, 2006

I 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.

Table Column Default

Sep 19, 2006

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

Alter Column With Default Constraint

Dec 7, 2001

I can't seem to get the syntax correct for ALTERing an existing column with a default constraint. I've been to Help and BOL. There are examples that show how to use the ALTER command to add a column with a default constraint but not how to do it on an existing column.

Any help would be appreciated.
