sql server : get default value of a column
You can do this (done a SELECT * just so you can see all the info available):
SELECT *FROM INFORMATION_SCHEMA.COLUMNSWHERE....
This includes a "COLUMN_DEFAULT" column in the resultset.
Use
Select * From INFORMATION_SCHEMA.COLUMNS
there is a column called COLUMN_DEFAULT
The property you want is called "cdefault".
