ALTER TABLE Employee ADD DEFAULT 'SANDNES' FOR CityBorn

不能使用alter列，而是使用add列

ALTER TABLE Employee 
ADD DEFAULT('SANDNES') FOR CityBorn

这将在SQL Server工作:

ALTER TABLE Employee ADD CONSTRAINT DF_SomeName DEFAULT N'SANDNES' FOR CityBorn;

Hoodaticus的解决方案是完美的，谢谢，但我也需要它是可重新运行的，并找到了这种方式来检查它是否已经完成……

IF EXISTS(SELECT * FROM information_schema.columns 
           WHERE table_name='myTable' AND column_name='myColumn' 
             AND Table_schema='myDBO' AND column_default IS NULL) 
BEGIN 
  ALTER TABLE [myDBO].[myTable] ADD DEFAULT 0 FOR [myColumn] --Hoodaticus
END

ALTER TABLE Employee ADD DEFAULT 'SANDNES' FOR CityBorn

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;
