Date/Time As A Default Values For A Table Column
I am new to mySQL, so this question might be simple.I want to add a default value to a column that is the current date/time. I am using the mySQL Administrator and will not allow me to use a function like CURRENT_TIMESTAMP() or NOW() as a default value. I used to do this with other databases (I always add a column to all of my tables called InsertDateTime and UpdateDateTime. It helps to track down data entry problems)

DATE / TIMESTAMP Default Values
im is having problems with auto inserting date in my table. I dont know what is the default value i will set if column type to DATE. It was succesful though if is use the TIMESTAMP type in the column and is using CURRENT_TIMESTAMP as the dafault value. mysql automatically inserts the current date and time to the database everytime a new record is inserted. The problem with using TIMESTAMP is that i only want the date and not the additional time. Is there a default value I can use for the DATE function instead of using TIMESTAMP? I already tried NOW(), CURDATE(), CURRENT_DATE() to no avail

Default Value On Date Column
Using MySQL control center, I created a MySQL database table with a column of Date type. It always give the a Default value (0000-00-00) even null is allowed. I tried remove the default value and it comes back by itself. So if I don't supply a value when insert, the default is used. Query IS NOT NULL will not exclude this record. Now, In VB (with ADO/MyOLEDB), I did the exact query trying to filter out the null record. But I still get the record just like in Control Center. BUT, the value on this column is "NULL". How can I leave the Date field as null if no value is supplied?

Working Wit Date/time Values
I'm using the following query: Quote: SELECT * FROM IT_event_cal WHERE '$date' BETWEEN start_date AND stop_date Where start and stop_date are of type date/time (0000-00-00 00:00:00). For this particular query, I'd like to match a particular date (0000-00-00), and any time. How can I make the time part a wild-card value?

Converting Time Date Values To An Absolute Number For Data Retrieval
We have a medical DB which stores several medical variables from real cases. We use this data to build display trending information on a visualization display for doctors. Pulling and rendering graphically ALL the data takes time and processor that may not be available in a real world situation. What we want to do is to pull data at specific intervals of time based on the time length a doc wants to view. For example: if we have 2500 records all of which have a time stamp and each record is for an interval of 15 seconds how can I query the DB such that I can pull every data point at an interval of 75 seconds apart from the beginning time and display it? I was thinking if I could convert the timestamps to an absolute numeric value (assuming MySQL starts it's times at some point in the past) then I could figure out the query from there.

Finding Column Values Present In One Table, But Not In Another Table
have two tables, 'widgets' and 'widget_cats'. The primary key for widgets is 'widget.widget_id' and the key for widget_cats is a two-column key, 'widget_cats.widget_id,widget_cats.cat_id'. A particular widget_id can have more than one category, and so be present multiple times in the widget_cats table. I'm looking to find the widget_id's of ids that are present in the widget_cats table, but ont in the widgets table. For instance say the pair '515,A98' is in the widget_cats table, but '515' is not present in the widgets table. I'd like '515' to be among the values returned.

Updating Column With Sumned Values For Each Record In Table
I have most of the query formulated, but am stuck on the portion where I need to specify which records to update. I want to update all the records in the table. How can I specify the request_id to be the same in both the select and update statement? Here's the query I'm working on: Code: update enhancementrequests2 set hardBenefitEffortSavings = (SELECT hardBenefitEffortSavings + hardBenefitLaborSavings + hardBenefitHardwareSoftwareSavings + hardBenefitOtherSavings AS hbTotal FROM enhancementrequests where request_id = 1), hardBenefitLaborSavings = NULL, hardBenefitHardwareSoftwareSavings = NULL, hardBenefitOtherSavings = NULL where request_id = 1 In my example I have specified that request_id = 1, but I want request_id to match each row of the table in turn. I hope that makes sense.

How To Keep A Table Ordered By A 'date' Column
how should I keep my "deliveries" table sorted by "date" field ? I found a solution with " ALTER TABLE 'deliveries' ORDER BY 'date' " after every INSERT I make , but I'm not sure it's the fastest way. I couldn't find the algorithm used for sorting so I'm not sure it's optimised for sorting where only one record is out of it's place.

PHP/MySQL Sorting By Date & Time (using Non Military Time)
This is probably a simple issue but I have searched online and can't find an answer. I am using PHP/MySQL and I guess the most intuitive would be to have three select boxes containing HOUR / MINUTE / AM,PM option. Then store the time into mysql using there functions so I can output the data sorting them all by date and time. All the examples I have seen are for military time only but I'm sure there has got to be a simple mysql function or php function that converts non military to military and a formatting function to display with the AM / PM. But I have not found it.

Are Default Values Necessary/good?
Any thoughts on whether or not every column should have a default value? phpmyadmin seems to add them to everything, but I'm not sure if they are really necessary in a well structured database. All of the defaults end up being empty strings or 0 so php wont treat that any differently from a NULL value when the data is retrieved, will it? 2 examples: with defaults: CREATE TABLE address ( ID int(11) NOT NULL auto_increment, Street_1 varchar(64) default '', Street_2 varchar(64) default '', Street_3 varchar(64) default '', City varchar(64) default '', State smallint(6) default Ɔ', Country smallint(6) default Ɔ', Zip varchar(8) default '', PRIMARY KEY (ID) ) ENGINE=InnoDB; without: CREATE TABLE address ( ID int(11) auto_increment, Street_1 varchar(64), Street_2 varchar(64), Street_3 varchar(64), City varchar(64), State smallint(6), Country smallint(6), Zip varchar(8), PRIMARY KEY (ID) ) ENGINE=InnoDB;

How To Set Default Values For Timestamp Fields

I have 2 timestamps, one for when the record was entered, the other for any subsequent updates. I know that the first timestamp column will be set automatically on updates, but how does the other for creation timestamp get set. My app is not generating the SQL directly so setting the value using the NOW() command is not an option, as the inserts are coming from different timezones I cannot let the clients set their own values.

Date-time Overlaps Another Time
had a time question in mysql... i have a start and end time for a meeting table and i am comparing whether a new meeting conflicts with another meeting in same room on the same date. i was wondering if i could check whether the 'date-time duration' in anyway overlaps another meetings date-time duration. visualized below... ............|____compareToThisMeeting__| .....|_________meetingNewOverlaps__________| i was doing something dumb before i realized i needed soemthing more complex (checking whether the start time of new meeting was 'BETWEEN' the start and end times of a meeting and whether the end time time is as well but i forgot the duration/middle value hehe). (using asp) and just returning booleans with a mySQL SELECT statement is what i am looking for like... //within a loop in asp for meetings on same date/room "SELECT '"+ year+"-"+month +"-"+day +" " + startHourString +":" + startMinuteString +":00''"+ " BETWEEN '"+ thisMeetingStart +"' AND '"+ thisMeetingEnd +"'"; (this doesnt cover the 'middle' overlap areas though)

Use Now() As Default Value For A Column
I cannot find any good material on this, and it seems like it should be so easy. I have two columns in my table, creation_date and last_modified_date. I want the creation_date field to bear the default value of Now(), so that when a row is created the timestamp is there. This value should never change, and should only be set on row creation. The last_modified_date field I want to change on the UPDATE only. It seems that this may be possible using the TIMESTAMP type and the default values there but what I read is that they will update everytime a row is altered. This would be dead-simple if I could just specify Now() as the default value.

Default Value For A Column, When Value Is Not Specified

In DB2, there is an option like 'GENERATED BY DEFAULT AS IDENTITY' which will cause DB2 to generate unique values for the identity column during insert operations if no value is specified for the identity column. However, if a value is specified for the identity column, DB2 will use it in the insert operation. In MYSQL, is there an option like this?

Not Able Give Default Value For DATE Field
I would like to specify a default value for "DATE" datatype as a system date. But i could find from the help tutorial, "default value cannot be added for a DATE datatype". But i could specify in Oracle. I have found below statment from the help documents. "The DEFAULT value clause in a data type specification indicates a default value for a column. With one exception, the default value must be a constant; it cannot be a function or an expression. This means, for example, that you cannot set the default for a date column to be the value of a function such as NOW() or CURRENT_DATE. The exception is that you can specify CURRENT_TIMESTAMP as the default for a TIMESTAMP column." Why cant we use a functions or variable values in date? Is this the limitation or didnot explore this functionality yet? Is this limitation applicable for only DATE type or any other datatypes? I have such a situation to use this "default" feature for a date column with value as system date. is there a way to do that?
