Question

Im trying to set a default value for a field into a SQL Server Table.
This field is int, and when I go to the GUI and I set Associated Default Value to 0 and I save the table, than the default value will be ((0)) (and when I insert a record it get the NULL value).

Why? How can I fix it?

Answer 1

You are sending NULL.

If you want it to use the default, then don’t specify it or use the keyword DEFAULT

INSERT (col1, col3) -- col2 is skipped, gets zero default
VALUE (foo, bar)

INSERT (col1, col2, col3)
VALUE (foo, DEFAULT, bar)

INSERT -- not best practice
VALUE (foo, DEFAULT, bar)
