Dear Friends,

How to set/inset default value like Email is not available for Email column (if column value is null/empty) in Student table.

SId SName Email Address
1 Raju raju@gmail.com bangalore
2 Reddy bangalore
3 Sita bangalore
4 Ravi ravi@gmail.com bangalore
5 Ramu bangalore

Expected Output

SId SName Email Address
1 Raju raju@gmail.com bangalore
2 Reddy Email NA bangalore
3 Sita Email NA bangalore
4 Ravi ravi@gmail.com bangalore
5 Ramu Email NA bangalore

Thanks in advance.

Try this
ALTER COLUMN Emailcolumnname SET DEFAULT 'Email is not available'

Thanks for your reply. Whenever try to insert a record from front end that time I have left the Email textbox. In that situation I need to insert the record at database default value. You are given that query it will work at after record is inserted only, but I need at time of insertion.

Once again thanks.
