刚刚发现3个简单的步骤来改变已经存在的列，之前是空的

update   orders
set BasicHours=0 where BasicHours is null

alter table orders 
add default(0) for BasicHours

alter table orders 
alter  column CleanBasicHours decimal(7,2) not null 

就像Yuck的答案，检查允许脚本运行多次而没有错误。(与使用information_schema.columns相比，代码/自定义字符串更少)

IF object_id('DF_SomeName', 'D') IS NULL BEGIN
    Print 'Creating Constraint DF_SomeName'
   ALTER TABLE Employee ADD CONSTRAINT DF_SomeName DEFAULT N'SANDNES' FOR CityBorn;
END

如果一个限制已经存在，它的默认名称是:

-- Drop existing default constraint on Employee.CityBorn
DECLARE @default_name varchar(256);
SELECT @default_name = [name] FROM sys.default_constraints WHERE parent_object_id=OBJECT_ID('Employee') AND COL_NAME(parent_object_id, parent_column_id)='CityBorn';
EXEC('ALTER TABLE Employee DROP CONSTRAINT ' + @default_name);

-- Add default constraint on Employee.CityBorn
ALTER TABLE Employee ADD CONSTRAINT df_employee_1 DEFAULT 'SANDNES' FOR CityBorn;

第一次掉落约束

https://stackoverflow.com/a/49393045/2547164

DECLARE @ConstraintName nvarchar(200)
SELECT @ConstraintName = Name FROM SYS.DEFAULT_CONSTRAINTS
WHERE PARENT_OBJECT_ID = OBJECT_ID('__TableName__')
AND PARENT_COLUMN_ID = (SELECT column_id FROM sys.columns
                        WHERE NAME = N'__ColumnName__'
                        AND object_id = OBJECT_ID(N'__TableName__'))
IF @ConstraintName IS NOT NULL
EXEC('ALTER TABLE __TableName__ DROP CONSTRAINT ' + @ConstraintName)

第二步创建默认值

ALTER TABLE [table name] ADD DEFAULT [default value] FOR [column name]

刚刚发现3个简单的步骤来改变已经存在的列，之前是空的

update   orders
set BasicHours=0 where BasicHours is null

alter table orders 
add default(0) for BasicHours

alter table orders 
alter  column CleanBasicHours decimal(7,2) not null 

ALTER TABLE tblUser
 ADD CONSTRAINT DF_User_CreatedON DEFAULT GETDATE() FOR CreatedOn
