I don't think this works as intended: "Specifies an SQL expression that is
assigned to the field if the user does not provide a value."

Is this functionality in place in EDB?

(The Delphi 7 Help text is not very clear, btw. Is this what 'value'
delivers when it is null in the table? Or does this value gets put into the
table, if a null is found before post? Should I see this in a TDBEdit? Or
just when I ask for a field's value?)

I misinterpreted the Help. Even when using the BDE, this value only shows up
when you create a new record. Pretty bad D7 Help text.

Royke,

No, EDB defines the default values at the physical column level, and does
not use the Delphi TDataSet/TField properties for default values.
