I have a table with a column defined like this:
Country VARCHAR(2) NOT NULL DEFAULT 'US'
When I try to detect this default with JDBC it fails. Basically when I use DatabaseMetaData.getColumns the result does not contain the COLUMN_DEFAULT column. It is there when I try this with H2.
Any ideas how to get the default with Derby?
Did you try for COLUMN_DEFAULT? Or for COLUMN_DEF? According to the Javadoc I think it should be COLUMN_DEF.
Also, what version of Java and of JDBC are you using? I think that Derby only added COLUMN_DEF as part of the JDBC 4.0 support, which may require Java 1.6.
