object.ColumnsNullByDefault [=value]

Parts

  • object
    An expression that evaluates to an object in the Applies To list

  • value

Modifiable

Read/write

Prototype (C/C++)

HRESULT GetColumnsNullByDefault(LPBOOL pRetVal);
HRESULT SetColumnsNullByDefault(BOOL NewValue);

Remarks

If TRUE, columns in new tables allow NULL.

If FALSE, columns in new tables do not allow NULL.

The default behavior can be changed on a column-by-column basis. For more information, see AllowNulls Property.
