# 3537 DEFAULT Expressions for BYTE Columns Cause Parsing Error

How does one set a default value for a BYTE field? I thought the following should work, however it gives:

Error #700 An error was found in the default column expression at line 1 and column 1 (Expected NULL, Byte, GUID, or VarByte expression but instead found '01')

ALTER TABLE "table" ALTER COLUMN "ByteColumn" AS BYTE(1) DEFAULT X'01' NOT NULL

Workaround:

ALTER TABLE "table" ALTER COLUMN "ByteColumn" AS BYTE(1) DEFAULT cast(X'01' as byte) NOT NULL

Comments and Workarounds

Thanks to John Hay for the workaround.
