No, that is not legal. From the manual: "Default values must be constants. 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."

Hi there. I'm getting stuck on what seems only too simple to me: CREATE TABLE Waverley.MemberPrice ( PriceID TINYINT UNSIGNED AUTO_INCREMENT NOT NULL PRIMARY KEY, Price FLOAT(5,2) NOT NULL, ActivePrice TINYINT UNSIGNED NOT NULL DEFAULT 1, CreatedDate DATE NOT NULL DEFAULT NOW(), DeActivatedDate DATE, DeActivatedBy TINYINT UNSIGNED NOT NULL DEFAULT 0 ); I get an Error 1064 on the NOW(). If I take the DEFAULT NOW() out, then it works perfect. I'm using 3.22.32, if that helps. Thanks if you can help.
