I came across this line in a MySQL script

 `other_validator` varchar(5000) NOT NULL DEFAULT '',
   `default` varchar(255) NOT NULL DEFAULT '',
  `widget` varchar(255) NOT NULL DEFAULT '',

What does this line signify?

`default` varchar(255) NOT NULL DEFAULT '',

How can this be implemented in SQL Server?

    You are seeing a column with a poor name. Try choosing a more descriptive name for the column. Other developers will be better off if you do.

    You can use the square bracket delimiters for SQL Server.

    CREATE TABLE foo (
    [defaultXyz] varchar(255)
)

    SQL Server will let you give a column this name only using square brackets. Just don’t do it. It’s like giving a child a name of ‘Kid’.
