I https://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms165895(v=sql.105).aspx want to set the default value using NEWSEQUENTIALID(), but I get the error: Error validating default for column..

Workaround: create your table without specifying any default, and then type in this T-SQL statement in a normal query window and run it: ALTER TABLE dbo.YourTable ADD CONSTRAINT DF_SerialID DEFAULT newsequentialid() FOR SerialID share|improve this answer edited Apr 23 at 21:10 Daniel Kvist 8071933 answered Sep 5 '11 at 14:47 programmer 507822 6 I find you can just ignore the error window and continue. –P a u l Mar 9 '12 at 20:57 The same thing happened to me when I tried to add a 'unique key' index on an existing uniqueidentifier column that had already been populated with its default value of 'newsequentialid'. When I saved the table, I got the same warning, but as P a u l mentioned, you can just click 'yes' to ignore the warning and the table will be saved successfully. I can't think of a circumstance or reason why it wouldn't succeed. It shouldn't be calling the default anyway if it's just updating a table. –Triynko Nov 2 '13 at 0:21 I had trouble at first figuring out what to change to make it work for me. I find it is ALTER TABLE dbo.YourTable ADD CONSTRAINT DF_COLUMN DEFAULT newsequentialid() FOR COLUMN –Karl Henselin May 8 '14 at 0:37 add a comment| up vote 6 down vote This is a bug in the designer that is not being fixed by microsoft. http://social.msdn.microsoft.
fields to Datetime2(7) 0 we added merge replication to our SQL 2008 DB and it changed all our datetime fields to datetime2(7), and MS Access 2010 sees it as a text field. which breaks everything. WTF WTF WTF. and if I try to change data type back to Datetime, it wont let me. SQL Server https://ask.sqlservercentral.com/questions/97323/adding-merge-replication-changed-datetime-fields-t.html was a good product until SQL 2005, then it started turning into a complicated pile of crap. https://www.medo64.com/2010/09/error-validating-default-for-column/ searching MS support articles is also a lost cause. paul@darlingassociates.com more ▼ 9 total comments 448 characters / 78 words asked Jan 08, 2013 at 08:46 PM in Default Pauljd 10 ● 1 ● 1 ● 3 Did you try this in your test environment first?

That certainly isn't what should happen! That being said, your issue is probably more to do with how SSMS was coded/designed rather than SQL server itself. SSMS is terrible when it comes to table schema changes, it basically copies the old table into a new one with the new schema and drops the old table. This doesn't work with a replicated table as you could imagine. I would suggest you look at making your desired changes using T-SQL in SSMS. That way you know what commands are being sent to SQL Server. Could you give that a try and get back to us? more ▼ 4 total comments 666 characters / 123 words answered Jan 09, 2013 at 08:59 PM WilliamD 26.2k ● 18 ● 34 ● 48 Hi Willam, I'm not sure I understand. I have no desired changes, other than changing the datetime2(7) back to datetime fields. It complained about defaults on the rowguid field (see earlier msg) and stated update failed during the trigger, but didn't specify the trigger or a line #, or offending statement. I'm just using the product as it was designed. Another clue, the DB was re
comments Sep 132010 For one project of mine I needed to use GUID for column identification inside SQL Server 2008 R2. As usually, I expected everything to go fine. I just add new column (Id in my case) and set it's data type to "uniqueidentifier". After that just set that field's default to whichever function generates new GUID. Since I am running SQL Server 2008 R2 I opted to use NEWSEQUENTIALID (I will explain why in some other post). As I am programmer first and database administrator only when needed, my natural environment when dealing with database is right-clicking Design and doing changes in more visual way. As soon as I changed "Default Value or Binding" property to "(NEWSEQUENTIALID())" I was greeted with "Error validating the default for column ‘id'. Do you want to cancel your changes?" After checking all documentation and rechecking it again, I just answered to this question "NO". After other fields were adjusted and I tried to save changes, I was greeted with another message: "Warnings were encountered during pre-save validation process, and might result in failure during save. Do you want to continue attempting to save?". Correct answer here is "YES". Save went without hitch. After additional Internet searches I found that this is simple error in validation procedure. And it is in SQL Server since version 2005. Two versions after, it is still alive and kicking. Until Microsoft fixes this in SQL Server 2020, just remember to hit first "NO" and second "YES". One Response to "Error validating the default for column…" Comments (1) Ashish Yengkhom says: 2014-10-23 at 19:53 I came across the same issue troubleshooting performance issues for a client and discovered they had uniqueidentifiers (using newsequentialid default) as PK but non-clustered indexes. The scripts ran fine converting them to clustered indexes, but I wanted to know what this error was about and it led me to this page.
