I would like to change the default data type when designing a table in SQL Server Management Studio Table Designer. My current default is nchar(10) and I am creating a table with a lot of integer data types. I looked in Tools Options but could not find anyplace to change this. I’m running SQL Server 2008 R2.

It is possible, but requires a modification of the registry.
This is a tiresome change to make every time you wish to change the default, so I agree with NYCdotNet.
