Viewing the properties of a column

Use sp_bindrule to bind a rule to a column or user-defined datatype. Its syntax is:
```
sp_bindrule rulename, objname [, futureonly] 
```
The rule must be compatible with the datatype of the column. For example, you cannot use:
```
@value like A% 
```
as a rule for an exact or approximate numeric column. If the rule is not compatible with the column to which it is bound, Adaptive Server generates an error message when it tries to insert a value, not when you bind it.
You can bind a rule to a column or datatype without unbinding an existing rule.
Rules bound to columns always take precedence over rules bound to user-defined datatypes, regardless of which rule was most recently bound.
