Question

Good day, just want to ask, is it possible to alter a column table and make the default value to empty string.

I tried using this query,

Alter Table Employee Alter Column sJobTitle Varchar(200) DEFAULT '' 

Unfortunately, it doesn’t work..

Please let me know, if ‘m doing it correct..

Thanks,

You need to add a constraint.

Referring to SQL SERVER – Create Default Constraint Over Table Column

ALTER TABLE Employee 
  ADD CONSTRAINT DF_Employee _JobTitle
  DEFAULT '' FOR sJobTitle
