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 - 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

Datetime Field Default Now() Fails
I have a mySQL database table with a column field datatype of datetime that I set up in the original create table statement like this: create table nnet_usermetadata ( .... nnet_record_entered datetime default 'now()' ) However, upon execution, each time a record is entered into nnet_usermetadata the results are: 00-00-0000 00:00:00 Is there a way I can always ensure that the current date and time are always entered into the datetime field?

Comparing A Datetime Column
I am trying to write a query that will delete all rows that are older than a specified date. The problem is that I am fairly new to mysql and that I am not quite sure about how I should compare something in the format yyyy-mm-dd hh:mm:ss. Would converting that date format using UNIX_TIMESTAMP(), subtracting that from the current unix timestamp and then comparing be a good way to approach this problem? Or are there other functions that may be easier to use? Also, on a curious note.. how portable are these built-in mysql functions to other SQL software packages?

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
We have migrated our database from DB2 to MYSQL. 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?

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?

I have also tried Shipdate+7, but this returns incorrect records from the past ?

Curdate() Is 0000-00-00 For New Entry
I have a web form that users submit information through and it gets stored in a MySQL table. I wanted to capture the "creation date" of the record. So, I do the following: 1) I connect to the database and ask for the curdate() assigning it to a variable. 2) Then I turn around and store the user input into the table along with the curdate() variable that I first retrieved. However, I just noticed something while still testing this. If I drop/add the table, the first entry always retrieves a curdate() of 0000-00-00. And this is a issue as I later allow users to retrieve these records based upon their creation dates. So, the first one will be lost. Why is the first record recording 0000-00-00? The table exists even without any data in it. And, how do I get around this?

Selecting A Date Range Using CURDATE()
When a user selects a page with the recordset I want it to list dates that fall into a certain range, related to CURDATE(). The range fields are start_date and end_date, which are both DATETIME column types. Using BETWEEN won't work because it won't list a date that starts BEFORE CURDATE() e.g. If CURDATE() is 2005-08-10 Then an event that has a start_date of 2005-08-06 and an end_date of 2005-08-26 won't show in the list, even though the date range does fall into the CURDATE() of 2005-08-10.

Date Range CURDATE() + 7 Days
I need to select data between two dates a table - this bit I can achieve no problem. However, my query is not that simple - the date rangeI need to select is always going to be between the current date and 7 days forward, i.e I want to select all data between and including the current date and 7 additional days. I presume I use the CURDATE() function to generate the current date, but how do I work out CURDATE + 7 days and then get the query to select all the data between and including those two dates?

Removing Year From CURDATE Or TO_DAYS

Here's the query I have now, which works if the years matchup: SELECT DATE_FORMAT(`gamedate`, '%Y') as `gamedate`, location, opponent_id, oppname, result, score1, score2 FROM games, opponent WHERE games.opponent_id = opponent.oppid AND TO_DAYS(CURDATE()) = TO_DAYS(`gamedate`)"); I've tried putting in a " - year " as I've noticed done on the other threads, but am getting nowhere.
