I have no problem setting a default value with mySQL but I am having trouble getting the correct syntax with 4D's SQL implementation. I am just in test and experiment phase of trying to see if I can replace mySQL with 4D (so far so good except for this little hiccup which I am certain is my ignorance).
Normally this should work: ************************************** SQL LOGIN(SQL_INTERNAL;"root";"") txt_TABLE_NAME:="Test_4444_0353" txt_QUESTION_TYPE:=" INT" txt_QUESTION_NAME:="X0101" txtRequest:="Alter TABLE "+txt_TABLE_NAME+" add "+txt_QUESTION_NAME+""+txt_QUESTION_TYPE+" DEFAULT -999999 ;" Begin SQL EXECUTE IMMEDIATE: txtRequest End SQL SQL LOGOUT ************************************** I get syntax errors at this and other variations (I'm just guessing hoping I hit on correct syntax!) I checked and the DEFAULT reserved work exists in 4D's SQL (but maybe it is only valid in a Select?).
