Hey all,
I would like to retrieve the default value of the column by using the Query as
below, but it shows either null or binary, it is not returning the actual
default value of any column. Please someone suggest me how to do the same.
SELECT r.RDB$FIELD_NAME AS field_name, f.RDB$FIELD_TYPE,
CASE f.RDB$FIELD_TYPE
WHEN 261 THEN 'BLOB'
WHEN 14 THEN 'CHAR'
WHEN 40 THEN 'CSTRING'
WHEN 11 THEN 'D_FLOAT'
WHEN 27 THEN 'DOUBLE'
WHEN 10 THEN 'FLOAT'
WHEN 16 THEN CASE f.RDB$FIELD_SCALE WHEN 0 THEN 'bigint' ELSE
'double' END
WHEN 8 THEN 'INTEGER'
WHEN 9 THEN 'QUAD'
WHEN 7 THEN 'SMALLINT'
WHEN 12 THEN 'DATE'
WHEN 13 THEN 'TIME'
WHEN 35 THEN 'TIMESTAMP'
WHEN 37 THEN 'VARCHAR'
ELSE 'UNKNOWN'
END AS field_type,
f.RDB$FIELD_SUB_TYPE AS field_subtype,
r.RDB$DESCRIPTION AS field_description,
r.RDB$DEFAULT_VALUE AS field_default_value,
r.RDB$NULL_FLAG AS field_not_null_constraint,
f.RDB$FIELD_LENGTH AS field_length,
f.RDB$FIELD_PRECISION AS field_precision,
f.RDB$FIELD_SCALE AS field_scale,
coll.RDB$COLLATION_NAME AS field_collation,
cset.RDB$CHARACTER_SET_NAME AS field_charset
FROM RDB$RELATION_FIELDS r
LEFT JOIN RDB$FIELDS f ON r.RDB$FIELD_SOURCE = f.RDB$FIELD_NAME
LEFT JOIN RDB$COLLATIONS coll ON f.RDB$COLLATION_ID = coll.RDB$COLLATION_ID
LEFT JOIN RDB$CHARACTER_SETS cset ON f.RDB$CHARACTER_SET_ID =
cset.RDB$CHARACTER_SET_ID
WHERE r.RDB$RELATION_NAME='TBLTEST' -- table name
ORDER BY r.RDB$FIELD_POSITION;
