List all Default Values in a SQL Server Database

Tweet

I had earlier written a query to Find a Column Default value using T-SQL. Here’s how to find the default value of all columns in all tables of a database

SELECT obj.name as 'Table', col.name as 'Column',
object_definition(default_object_id) AS [DefaultValue]
FROM   sys.objects obj INNER JOIN sys.columns col
ON obj.object_id = col.object_id
where obj.type = 'U'

The sys.objects and sys.columns provides us with the metadata needed to find the default values of all columns in a database.
