drop column checkin

Answer 1

I have updated script a little bit to my SQL server version

DECLARE @sql nvarchar(max)

SELECT @sql = 'ALTER TABLE `table_name` DROP CONSTRAINT ' + df.NAME 
FROM sys.default_constraints df
  INNER JOIN sys.tables t ON df.parent_object_id = t.object_id
  INNER JOIN sys.columns c ON df.parent_object_id = c.object_id AND df.parent_column_id = c.column_id
where t.name = 'table_name' and c.name = 'column_name'

EXEC sp_executeSql @sql
GO

ALTER TABLE table_name
  DROP COLUMN column_name;
