Hello all,
I have a question about "date" & "timestamp" types in PostgreSQL. I want
to setup the default value '0000-00-00' and "0000-00-00 00:00:00" for
them. However, it seems that PostgreSQL does not support it. Could
someone helps me please?
The example table:
T1 (col1 varchar(7) not null,
col2 varchar(4) not null,
col3 date not null,
col 4 varchar(3),
primary key(col1, col2, col3)
)
In my design model, "col3" has to be one of the primary key part. Since
at the beginning of the data population, we do not know the value of
"col3"; values for "col3" are input throught GUI. Therefore, when I use
MySQL, the default values I gave is "0000-00-00". However, after I
migrate to postgreSQL, I could not setup the default values as
"0000-00-00" any more. Could somebody help me about it please? I really
want to know how I can save '0000-00-00' as the default value for "date"
and "timestamp" types.
Thanks a lot!
