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

Looking up the name of the contraint or using MSSQL design view is not always an option. I currently want to make a script for deleting a column with a contraint on it. Using the name is not an option since the name is generated and I want to use the script in different environments Dev/Sys/Prod/etc. Using the name is then not possible because the contraint names will differ per environment. I will probably have to look into the systems tabel but I agree there should be an easier option available.
