SQL Server 2005 drop column with constraints

Question

I have a column with a \"DEFAULT\" constraint. I\'d like to create a script that drops that column.

The problem is that it returns this error:

Msg 50         


        

Answer 1

You can get the constraint names by querying the information_schema system views.

select CONSTRAINT_NAME from INFORMATION_SCHEMA.CONSTRAINT_COLUMN_USAGE WHERE TABLE_NAME = '' AND COLUMN_NAME = 'IsClosed'
