Defaults (PDM)

A default is a value that can be assigned to a column or a domain in the DBMS of the Sybase Adaptive Server Enterprise and Microsoft SQL Server families.

You select a default from the Default list in the Check Parameters tab of a column or domain property sheet.

• Creating a Default
  You can create a default in any of the following ways:
• Default Properties
  You can modify an object's properties from its property sheet. To open a default property sheet, double-click its diagram symbol or its Browser entry in the Defaults folder. The following sections detail the property sheet tabs that contain the properties most commonly entered for defaults.
• Assigning a Default to a Column or a Domain
  You can select a default from the list of defaults and assign it to a column or a domain from the Standard Checks tab of the column or domain property sheet.
• Rebuilding Defaults
  You can generate defaults from domains and columns having default values. The Default Rebuild feature uses the default values to create default objects and attaches them to the appropriate domains and/or columns.
