This property (available in DBISAM 4's TDBISAMTable) does not appear to have made the leap to ElevateDB. Is there an alternative, simple way of achieving this. I was assuming that using the "by default only" setting in Manager would
allow this but I don't seem to be able to generate columns using this option anyway (they revert to "always") when saved.

Peter,

You're on the right path.  There is a bug in the EDB Manager SQL generation
for the BY DEFAULT option.  If you create the table in the manager, click on
the database name in the treeview on the left after the table has been
created.  Then click on the SQL tab on the right-hand side of the manager.
You should see the CREATE TABLE SQL code for creating the table.  If you
change the ALWAYS to BY DEFAULT for the desired column, drop the existing
table, and then run the changed SQL code, you should get the desired result.
