Release 10.1A: OpenEdge Data Management:
DataServer for ORACLE

Initial values

The DataServer preserves settings for initial values of columns in the ORACLE database when you create or modify a schema holder. You can then use the OpenEdge Data Dictionary to modify the initial value for that column. Unlike most other changes that you make to the schema holder, the modified initial value is retained during subsequent updates of the schema. If you are inserting records into the ORACLE database outside of an OpenEdge application, you might also need to change the default value in ORACLE.
