DATETIME - Set Default Value
I have a database table (MYSQL v5.0.67) in which I store several date fields. I have set these all to be not null and to have a default value of '0000-00-00 00:00:00' e.g.
`last_login` DATETIME NOT NULL DEFAULT '0000-00-00 00:00:00',
However when I run my create database script (generated from a schema design in MYSQL Workbench) it complains as follows:
Error Code : 1067
Invalid default value for 'last_login'
I leave it as nullable with no default value and run the script to create the table which works fine. I can then use a tool like SQLyog to alter the table generated and set this to be not null with a default of 0000-00-00 00:00:00 and it is happy to alter the table. Obviously this is not ideal and it should work straight from the script.

DATETIME DEFAULT Now().
I would like to know in what way, I can set the default value of a DATETIME field to Now() so I don't need to put the code in my scripts. ALTER TABLE `tbltest` CHANGE `TheDate` `TheDate` DATETIME DEFAULT 'Now()' With the ' ' it doesn't error, but it's probibly just sending the string "Now()" and I get the default date 0000-00-00. If I take off the ' ' I get an error. Anyone know a way I can set my default value for my DATETIME field to automatically insert the date and time with each new record?

Datetime And Timestamp As Default
I would like a column created_timestamp to be populated on record creation (and preferably not updatable); and a column updated_timestamp to be populated on record creation, and then automatically updated on any update. should created_timestamp be of type datetime? and updated_timestamp be of type timestamp? and is ordering of the columns an issue (i.e. only the first gets updated)? mysql complains on the following? create table history ( name varchar(20) not null, createdtimestamp datetime not null default current_timestamp, updatedtimestamp timestamp not null, primary key(name) );

Default Value For DATETIME Field

Is there is a setting I can change to allow for this declaration, bad as it may be?

How To Set The Default For A Datetime Column To Curdate()
I'd like to set the default value for a datetime type column in a table to today's date. It seems I should be able to do this with the CURDATE() function. I tried adding a call to the function in the default value field when creating the table's column, by when I save the table the default reverts to "0000-00-00 00:00:00" I've done this in other RDMSs. How can I do it in MySQL?

Datetime Value
I need to return a datetime value like this: yyyy-mm-dd hh:mm:ss. The question is, performance wise, would I be better off storing the datetime value in a datetime column which takes up 8 bytes, and returns the data directly, or would I be better off storing it in an INT which takes 4 bytes, and then when selecting it do: from_unixtime(columnname) Which would be the better choice?

Need Help With DateTime !
I have a table i.e. Schedule and it has a datetime column i.e. Start and it has the following records. 2007-11-21 08:55:12 2007-11-20 08:55:12 2007-11-19 08:55:12 2007-11-18 08:55:12 2007-11-17 08:55:12 2007-11-16 08:55:12 If the current date time is "2007-11-19 08:55:12" how will I come to know what is the very next date that is greater than this? and what is the very previous date that is less than this datetime? Technically speaking what statement/query may I use to get this? In this case "2007-11-20 08:55:12" will be the very next date and "2007-11-18 08:55:12" will be the previous date.

Timestamps To DATETIME
I have a table that has a field that is a BIGINT and it contains unix timestamps. I want to convert them to the MySQL DATETIME format.

Something like:Code: UPDATE `table` SET `new_datatime` = UNIX_TO_DATETIME(`old_unixtimestamp`); I don't know if a function like that (UNIX_TO_DATETIME) exists in MySQL.

Splitting Up DATETIME
I have 3 drop down menus that display the day (values 1-31), month (values 1-12, and year (2005-2008). I need to be able to search the database for an event on a specific date and order them by today and on. My row is called date and its column type is datetime. Is there any way I can split up the datetime so each drop down can search a portion of the date? I'm using php if that helps any.

Index Datetime
I'm trying to retrieve results within a date range and have an index on a datetime field. The following works correctly. Using explain i can see my index in use and only 1 record returned.Code: SELECT * from table where date = '2006-09-01 12:30:00' Once I change the "=" it blows up. The following query uses no index and therefore references every record before returning any results.Code: SELECT * from table where date >= '2006-09-01 12:30:00' Using LIKE helps, but it doesn't allow me to use an end date in the range.Code: SELECT * from table where date like '2006-09%'

Datetime 8 Bytes
How MySQL operates sometimes makes me question it. I noticed, that the datetime in MySQL is 8 bytes. But, the date datatype is 3 bytes, the time datatype is 3 bytes, and the year datatype is 1 byte...that adds upto 7 bytes, and we get exactly that in the datetime in 8 bytes. Why? And would this every change in future release versions?

Strings To Datetime

What I want is to update a datetime field from two char fields containing the date and time parts in the above formats.I, therefore, run Update Tablename Set z=x+' '+y; where z is a column in datetime format and x and y are in char format and contains values like the above.Again this works perfectly in SQL Server but it fails in MySQL.Why? And what can I do about it.

DATETIME -> DATE
I have a table with a DATETIME column named 'date'. I find that my queries often do 'DATE(`date`)' and so I figure that it'd make more sense to have a column with the actual date in it, rather than the DATETIME. I could then make that column an index which would speed up my queries.Does that make sense?If so, how best to do this. Something like this? ALTER TABLE rawdata ADD daydate DATE after date, ADD INDEX (daydate); UPDATE rawdata SET daydate=DATE(date); It seems wasteful/etc to duplicate the actual date, but I can't remove the DATETIME column since it's already used in other applications. Is there some way to have a column whose value is automatically derived from another column?

BigInt Value To Datetime
I'm looking to do two things: I've got a table with the primary key as a recorded date "RecDate". It's formatted as BigInt(20) with a format of YYYYMMDDHHMM. The data within this table is automatically updated using a weather station updater "vwsql" I want to add a new column "RecordedDate" as a DateTime and update all previous rows to include the RecDate in Datetime format. I understand that I will need two extra digits appended (for seconds) before I can insert the value into the new DateTime column. To achieve this would I use a union with another column containing 00 or is there an easier way? Once I've done that, I also want to set up the above function to run automatically. Would I define a Stored Procedure and then call it from a TRIGGER AFTER UPDATE?

DateTime Without Time
I have a difficult case and need your advice: For managing events in my online application I need to be able to input the start and end. They can be inserted either as a date only or as a date and time both. And I save this data into the DATETIME format. The problem is, if only a date is inserted, MYSQL will put the missing time information automatically as '00:00:00' but I don't want this. Because it will display the time as '00:00:00' which is wrong. Is there no way to save into DATETIME format without the time?

This works on my test server, but not on my customer's server. I'm using a slightly older version of MySQL (4.0.25-nt). I'm trying to input a datetime into the a field and get an error. The value is coming from a Date field in an MS Access 2k3 mdb. I've even tried to cDate() the value prior to putting it into the the INSERT query, same result. I've also tried using apostrophes (') instead of quots, to no resolve. The error is as follows: Microsoft OLE DB Provider for ODBC Drivers error '80040e31' [MySQL][ODBC 3.51 Driver][mysqld-5.0.21-community-nt]Incorrect datetime value: '2/5/2002 7:29:11 PM' for column 'ADD_DM' at row 1 The SQL Statement is as follows (shortened with elipse): INSERT INTO tblusr VALUES ("6", ... , "1", "7/3/2005 4:19:27 PM", "7/3/2005 4:19:27 PM"); I'm working on a string converting function to resolve this for now, however this leads to some serious issues.
