>>I am wondering (want to make sure I won't regret at some point) if setting default to many columns is ok (from the stand-point of good db design practice). For example, I have a table that has 34 columns and it looks like I will have defaults set for 30 columns (some 0, some empty string ''). Is this ok? TIA.

I am glad I am following the same approach. Thank you!
