It does.

While the word "server" is never used, my copy
of "Mastering SQL" has (early on) a section on
"Assigning default values."

As with much of computing and science, it's often
not the concept that is the challenge but the use
of language.

SERVER DEFAULTS = DEFAULT VALUES

Thank you for the example and the translation <g>.
