I'm adding a new column to one of my tables and wanted to know if there's
any need for me to set a default value since the type of the column is
'int'.
sql1: alter table todo add column clubmusictypeid int;
sql2: alter table todo alter column clubmusictypeid set default 0;
In general (given a column of type int), is it alright to just do sql1 and
forget about setting a default, or are there advantages to defaulting to
0. I'm presuming that if no default is set, the default is null?
Thx in Advance,
Aurangzeb
