Hi,

Been searching for syntax to drop a default value (we decided NOT to use the default value) for a colmun.
I looked in the docs and even tried to remove the default value via DBA Studio.

No go. Can you not modify a column to REMOVE a default value specification?

Thanks,

Hannah

(Its NOT in the docs.)
