Hi,

CREATE TABLE MYSCHEMA/MYTABLE
(MYID INTEGER NOT NULL WITH DEFAULT,
MYDATE DATE NOT NULL WITH DEFAULT Current_Date);

INSERT INTO MYSCHEMA/MYTABLE
VALUES(1, Default);

INSERT INTO QTEMP/MYTABLE (MYID) VALUES(2);

BTW with release V6R1 it is possible to add columns that are automatically
updated with the current timestamp, as soon as the record gets changed.
Create Table MyTable
(Id integer,
Name varchar(50),
FirstName varchar(50),
ChgTimeStp timestamp
generated always for each row on update
as row change timestamp)

Mit freundlichen Grüßen / Best regards

Birgitta Hauser

Betreff: Question on SQL Table (DDL) with date and time fields


is there a way to auto populate a date / time field with the current date
and time without actually having code to do it? IE: Is there a default
setting within the DDL spec that would cause the date field to be filled?

Although as I think about this, that might be a problem on subsequent
updates......
