Entity Framework 不支持DefaultValue

Yes, you can't do this. You have to set the default in code. There's no real way around this.

How to use Default column value from DataBase in Entity Framework?

有一个答案要求添加[DatabaseGenerated(DatabaseGeneratedOption.Identity)]

加完之后，发现没有啥用

public class SomeTable
{
    ...

    [DatabaseGenerated(DatabaseGeneratedOption.Identity)]
    public DateTime CreatedDate { get; set; }

    ...
}

结论：

这种有默认值的，只能通过自己在代码中设置对应实体的初始值，数据库的约束不起作用
