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

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;

试试下面的命令;

ALTER TABLE Person11
ADD CONSTRAINT col_1_def
DEFAULT 'This is not NULL' FOR Address

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 

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
