Question of the Day

Multiple Defaults

In my SQL Server 2022 database, I run this code:

ALTER TABLE dbo.OrderHeader 
ADD ModifiedStamp DATETIME CONSTRAINT df_Created_Getdate DEFAULT GETDATE()
GO
I decide I need to add auditing to another table and run this:
ALTER TABLE dbo.Tracker
ADD Created DATETIME CONSTRAINT df_Created_Getdate DEFAULT GETDATE()
GO
What happens with these statements?
