First, creating a table doesn't add any rows. Show Create Table ...
returns a row of data definition info, not a row of table data.
Second, Defining the column as NOT NULL will require numeric input for
the column, so DEFAULT 1 will have no effect. What are you trying to
accomplish with DEFAULT 1?

Why, when I create a table as follows:
mysql> create table requestid ( request_id int not null default
1, constraint requestid_innodb_pk_cons primary key(request_id) )
ENGINE=InnoDB;
Query OK, 0 rows affected (0.02 sec)
Do I get the following?
mysql> select request_id from requestid;
Empty set (0.01 sec)
When I do a show create table I see:
mysql> show create table requestid;
+-----------+----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------+
| Table | Create Table |
+-----------+----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------+
| requestid | CREATE TABLE `requestid` (
`request_id` int(11) NOT NULL default '1',
PRIMARY KEY (`request_id`)
) ENGINE=InnoDB DEFAULT CHARSET=latin1 |
+-----------+----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------+
1 row in set (0.00 sec)
Shouldn't I be getting back a '1' when I do my select??? Why am I
getting an empty set? What am I not understanding? How do I create a
table with a starting value of '1' or '0' for an int???
Thanks
