SQL function as default parameter value?

Question

I tried changing a default parameter value with this:

ALTER PROCEDURE [dbo].[my_sp]
@currentDate datetime = GETDATE()

and all the SQL pre-c

Answer 1

Default value for stored procedures parameter have to be constants. You'd need to do the following...

ALTER Procedure [dbo].[my_sp]
@currentDate datetime = null
AS
IF @currentDate is null
SET @currentDate = getdate()
