You are modifying a table named Product in a SQL Server 2005 database. You want to add a new column
named FriendlyName to the Product table. A friendly name for each product will be stored in this column. The
table currently contains data. The sales department has not yet created a friendly name for each product.
FriendlyName is a required value for each product.

B.
Define the new column as NOT NULL with a default value of ‘Undefined.’
C.
