Hi,

I have a table with a column like:

date date default null,

If I enter an empty string in it, the default null value is added (as it should).

But if I enter an invalid date by mistake, the date 0000-00-00 date date is entered instead of the default null, and this is not good.

Can I do something to force MySQL to insert a null date if the entered date is an invalid one?

That's silly, if the data you want to insert is considered to be invalid, reject it,
don't replace it with NULL.

With regards,
