Add new column in table with same value for all rows

Hi there,

 

I know if you want a certain value and it's a digit it's as simple as ColumnName = <value>

But what is the function if you want to have a certain string for all rows?

 

Kind regards,

Igor

If column value is number data type then value without quotes (")

 

ColumnName = value

 

If column value is text data type then value should be within double quotes( " ")

 

ColumnName = "value"

 

Hope this helps.
