Default Date Format And Date Stamping
1.) If possible, change the default date format from YYYY-MM-DD to MM-DD-YYYY. 2.) Auto "date stamp" a newly created record (e.g. I have a field called "date_posted" and would like that field to be auto-filled with the date upon INSERT). I'm using phpMyAdmin and MySQL version 5.1.30.

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?

Form Default Date
I have a MYSql database with an ASP VB form. I set up a text field and set the default value as: <%=date()%> but when I click the button to insert the record it tells me to check the sql error and lists my date field. My MySQL date type is date, not datetime. I am using Dreamweaver MX. How do I set the default date so that it inserts correctly into mysql? Apparently I can't set the default value for the date field in the database structure because I link with an odbc driver.

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?

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

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.

A am trying to retrieve data by a date range something like "1-1-2005" - "1-1-2007" or something but had quite some difficulty in doing it but I found a way and I am not sure that it is the best way but it appears to work well.

Date :: Select X Number Of Months Ahead Of Current Date
I am trying to query dates stored in my mysql database... eg: 2005-12-13 (13th Dec 2005) 2006-03-14 (14th Mar 2005) My SQL query needs to fetch all the records which are X number of months ahead of the current date. eg: I query it saying "get me all records where the date is 1 month from now.... I have used this (MONTH(date_review)-MONTH(CURDATE())) which returns 1 - so this is ok - as it's November, and december is one month away.... but when I ask for 3 months - it wont get the records... I know I somehow need to add the months on - but how do I do this with the year attached too?

Output Multiple Records From Start Date To End Date?
Firstly I'm using MySQL 5 on Win2003. I have a DB table that has multple columns, but the 2 columns I am interested in are DATE_START and DATE_END. So I'll have many records in the DB and the values in these fields will be anything like: DATE_START=2006-10-23 DATE_END=2006-10-26 Or if its a 1 day thing it will be sumin like: DATE_START=2006-10-23 DATE_END=2006-10-23 Is there anyway I can output multiple records from the DB for that one record between those dates? For example, the first record above would output: TITLE | SUMMARY | 2006-10-23 TITLE | SUMMARY | 2006-10-24 TITLE | SUMMARY | 2006-10-25 TITLE | SUMMARY | 2006-10-26 So basically I get a loop of all dates between the start and end date? Before anyone asks, no I can't loop through this in the code! I have a calendar, and all the dates are created and I just need to populate these dates with the records... and I won't go into detail, but without querying every day, this is the best way by far to do it... just need to know if it can be done?

Passing Date Via Form For Mysql Date Type
I've created a database for tracking our paper inventory. Basically when an individual takes paper, or envelopes the quantity is entered into the database, along with some other items. This all works great. I also have two fields that use the "Date" and "Time" types for holding the date and time of the initial transaction. I've created a seperate php script that we will use for our "end of month" reports. The script goes through and adds up the cost of each "purchase" between a specified time frame (1 may thru 31 may for example). This script works for me as long as I perform my query with my condition formated as such:

Latest Date Entry + Future Date
My requirement is data to be added to database depending on dates. Like If the user wants to add data for the next 10 days,the data should be added with a corresponding column containing the next 10 days' dates. Then if he logs in tomorrow and wishes to add data for another 100 days,it should find the last date added and then add data with the next 100 dates starting from that date. Also I would want to display these dates to the user.So can you suggest which type to be used for database field and also the date functions(mysql as well as php) to be achieved. Let me put it more clearly. "select the last date(which might be future dates) entered in the database"; If the date is Oct10 and the user wants to add entries for Oct 11,12 13 "insert into table values('data','oct11')" ...... ...... likewise for Oct12 and 13 The format I need is just year,month and day.No time is required.

I'm trying to install the authlib module that's required for the open-source iOutliner web-based outliner (http://ioutliner.com), but it fails halfway through when creating the tables: //Bad! /* SQL Error: Invalid default value for 'id' */ $query = mysql_query("CREATE TABLE authlib_data ( id int(11) DEFAULT '0' NOT NULL auto_increment, name text NOT NULL, email text NOT NULL, age int(3) DEFAULT '0' NOT NULL, sex text NOT NULL, school text NOT NULL, PRIMARY KEY (id) )"); //Bad! /* SQL Error: Invalid default value for 'id' */ $query = mysql_query("CREATE TABLE authlib_login ( id int(11) DEFAULT '0' NOT NULL auto_increment, username text NOT NULL, password text NOT NULL, PRIMARY KEY (id) )"); According to Google, DEFAULT '(0)' seems a legit instruction.

MySQL Default Value
When a customer places an order, the database sets the default at "3" which means "not complete" when it is complete and billed, It is assigned a "1" I want to have it be assigned a new number on all future orders, but no not want it to go back and reset every single past order. If I change the default value number in the database, will it only apply to new orders, or will it change every single record to the new default regardless of their current status?

What is happening however is that 'some' records are inserted just somewhere in the file - not at the end of the table. I can tell this because there is a date field in the table. How do records get added to a database? by key, index, ???? Is there some way to force a record to be added to the bottom of the table? Key info about the table: . there is not a primary key. . there are 3 index's

Default Autocommit=0?
Is there any way I can set up mysql client so that the default value for autocommit is 0? This is for when I'm running the command line client on linux/windows or the Query Browser on windows. I would feel much more comfortable that I'm not going to accidentally put in the wrong where clause and update or delete a bunch of records. I like to use the number of rows affected by my query as a double-check that I've done what I intended to do, and then commit it. I've searched around but could not find any mention of this issue -- all of the postings on autocommit that I found have to do with accessing mysqlserver from a program such as java or PHP.
