Updating an old ASP/Access site for a client – I need SQL to add

  • 0

Updating an old ASP/Access site for a client – I need SQL to add a column to an existing table and set a default value. Doesn’t work – any ideas?

This works fine

ALTER TABLE documents ADD COLUMN membersOnly NUMBER 

I want this to work:

ALTER TABLE documents ADD COLUMN membersOnly NUMBER DEFAULT 0 

Have googled and seen instructions for default values work for other field types but I want to add number. Thanks!

    Tools -> Options -> Tables/Queries -> (At the bottom right:) Sql Server Compatible Syntax – turn option on for this database.

    then you can execute your query:

    ALTER TABLE documents ADD COLUMN membersOnly NUMBER DEFAULT 0
