Schema Boolean Default value

[andreac50638695]

Hi All,

I'm trying to create a Boolean field into my custom schema with default value set as "true".

I tried with the following statement:

<attribute default="true" label="Export to FOX" name="foxExportFlgg" type="boolean"/>

Unfortunately the default value is always set as false.

This is the generated SQL code:

ALTER TABLE NmsDelivery ADD iFoxExportFlgg SMALLINT;

UPDATE NmsDelivery SET iFoxExportFlgg = 0;
ALTER TABLE NmsDelivery ALTER COLUMN iFoxExportFlgg SET Default 0;
ALTER TABLE NmsDelivery ALTER COLUMN iFoxExportFlgg SET NOT NULL;

Could you please help me?

Hello Andrea,

I believe the SQL script is generated when you try to update the DB structure . If this is true , the script is editable. 

Can you change the SET DEFAULT to 1 from 0 and see if the default changes to True.

Hi,

Please use the sqlDefault attribute and set it to value of choice.

Boolean field at SQL level transforms to an integer of 8 bit and can hold value as 0 or 1. 0 corresponds to False and 1 corresponds to True.

If you use the code like this it will work as required

<attribute default="true" label="Export to FOX" name="foxExportFlgg" type="boolean" sqlDefault="1" />

Hope this helps.
