Thanks to both. -----Original Message----- From: firebird-support@yahoogroups.com [mailto:firebird-support@yahoogroups.com] On Behalf Of Leyne, Sean Sent: Thursday, April 18, 2013 4:56 PM To: firebird-support@yahoogroups.com Subject: [firebird-support] RE: Default column value not applied
Rick, > Is it because I'm explicitly trying to insert NULL for the column? As Ivan already responded, Yes The rational is that DEFAULT only applies if the column is not listed in the INSERT statement, by SQL standard. Assigning a value of NULL is a direct/positive action, so the DEFAULT does not apply.
