Invalid default value for 'dateAdded'

Question

I got a stupid problem with SQL that I can\'t fix.

ALTER TABLE  `news` 
 ADD  `dateAdded` DATETIME NOT NULL DEFAULT CURRENT_TIMESTAMP AUTO_INCREMENT ,
 ADD PRIMARY         


        

Answer 1

Also do note when specifying DATETIME as DATETIME(3) or like on MySQL 5.7.x, you also have to add the same value for CURRENT_TIMESTAMP(3). If not it will keep throwing 'Invalid default value'.
