Default Property (FileGroup)

This feature will be removed in a future version of Microsoft SQL Server. Avoid using this feature in new development work, and plan to modify applications that currently use this feature.

The Default property indicates the filegroup used when no filegroup is specified as part of table or index creation.

Syntax

object
.Default [=value]

Parts

  • object
    AN expression that evaluates to an object in the Applies To list
  • value
    TRUE or FALSE

Data Type

Boolean

Modifiable

Read/write

Prototype (C/C++)

HRESULT GetDefault(LPBOOL pRetVal);
HRESULT SetDefault(BOOL NewValue);

Remarks

If TRUE, the referenced filegroup is used to implement table or index data storage if a table or index is created and no filegroup is specified.

If FALSE, the referenced filegroup is not used as the default in table and index creation. The filegroup can be specified by name to direct creation.
