Hi,

If it is just one field on the table, the default value is okay... but if you 
intend to have more than one field effected by trigger-like actions, it may be 
better if they were all in the one place... ie the Insert trigger, rather than 
having  default values specified in DDL.

Cheers,

Heya all,
 
What might be a purely academic question here... if you want a record to 
automatically have a 'date created' field. Is it best practise to achieve this 
by giving the 'dateCreated' field a default value of getdate(), or write a 
trigger on INSERT that sets the 'dateCreated' field. Is there any reason to do 
one or the other?
 
bye!
