MS SQL DROP DEFAULT CONSTRAINT
Posted on 2014-12-27
I noticed, from the object sys.default_constraints, that MS SQL generates individual default constraints for each field set with a default value.
Please, note that I set the default values with one Alter table table1 add constraint tableconstr1 default ... for ...., and this statement was built using information from information_schema.columns
Is there a way to drop all the default constraints generated automatically by MS SQL with one statement like
ALTER table table1 DROP CONSTRAINT tableconstr1 (name previously used in the statement above).
Thanks in advance for your time.

As the syntax for ALTER TABLE shows you can drop as many constraints as you like with one statement.

declare @col_name nvarchar(256)
set @table_name = N’Department’
set @col_name = N’ModifiedDate’
select t.name, c.name, d.name, d.definition
from sys.tables t
join
sys.default_constraints d
on d.parent_object_id = t.object_id
join
sys.columns c
on c.object_id = t.object_id
and c.column_id = d.parent_column_id
where t.name = @table_name
and c.name = @col_name
