We cannot use a function for default value in MySQL, but we can use triggers. Let us see an example.
First, we will create a table. The CREATE command is used to create a table.
mysql> CREATE table TbLFunctionTrigger - > ( - > id int, - > username varchar(100) - > ); Query OK, 0 rows affected (0.55 sec)
The following is the syntax to create a trigger and include a default value.
CREATE TRIGGER anyName BEFORE INSERT ON yourTableName FOR EACH ROW SET new.columnname = uuid();
Let us now implement a query to create a trigger.
mysql> CREATE TRIGGER insertBef - > BEFORE INSERT ON TbLFunctionTrigger - > FOR EACH ROW - > SET new.id = uuid(); Query OK, 0 rows affected (0.14 sec)
The above query sets a default value.
