SQL Server Management Studio make default date 5 days from now

Question

I am working on a database and I need to make the default value for a date column to be 5 days from the current date.

Would using getdate() + 5 work?

Answer 1

Yout can tryout DateAdd function for adding days to date

Example

DATEADD(day,1,@datetimevar/column)

try like this

create table t(
  i int,
  d datetime default (dateadd(day,5,getdate()))
)
