Description

When the using the ant task writeSchemaToDatabase with SQL Server 2000 to a database already created, the columns with the default attribute report an error:

[ddlToDatabase] SQL Command ALTER TABLE "oci_switch"
[ddlToDatabase] ALTER COLUMN "schd_status" SMALLINT DEFAULT '0' NOT NULL failed with [Microsoft][SQLServer 2000 Driver for JDBC][SQLServer]Incorrect syntax near the keyword 'DEFAULT'.

Schema:
<table name="oci_switch">
<column name="schd_status" primaryKey="false" required="true" type="SMALLINT" size="6" default="0" autoIncrement="false"/>
</table>

I believe in MS SQL, you cannot include a DEFAULT in an ALTER COLUMN. It is a seperate statement.
