The DefaultConstraint type exposes the following members.

Properties

	Name	Description
	CreateDate	Gets the date when the default constraint was created.
	DateLastModified	Gets the date when the default constraint was last modified.
	ExtendedProperties	Gets the extended properties of the default constraint.
	ID	Gets the default constraint ID value.
	IsFileTableDefined	Gets or sets whether the file table is defined.
	IsSystemNamed	Gets the Boolean property value that specifies whether the default constraint was named by the system or the user.
	Name	Gets or sets the default constraint name. (Overrides NamedSmoObject.Name.)
	Parent	Gets the Column object that is the parent of the DefaultConstraint object.
	Properties	Gets a collection of Property objects that represent the object properties. (Inherited from SqlSmoObject.)
	State	Gets the state of the referenced object. (Inherited from SmoObjectBase.)
	Text	Gets or sets the Transact-SQL statement that defines the default constraint.

Remarks

To get DefaultConstraint object properties, users can be members of the public fixed server role.

To set DefaultConstraint object properties, users must have ALTER permission on the parent table or be a member of the db_owner fixed database role.

To create or drop a default constraint, users must have ALTER permission on the parent table or be a member of the db_owner fixed database role.
