)

I\'m using a stored

Answer 1

The most succinct solution I could come up with is to follow the insert with an update for the column with the default:

IF OBJECT_ID('tempdb..#mytest') IS NOT NULL DROP TABLE #mytest
CREATE TABLE #mytest(f1 INT DEFAULT(1), f2 INT)
INSERT INTO  #mytest(f1,f2) VALUES (NULL,2)
INSERT INTO  #mytest(f1,f2) VALUES (3,3)

UPDATE #mytest SET f1 = DEFAULT WHERE f1 IS NULL

SELECT * FROM #mytest
