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

I had the same issue, following fix solved my problem.

• Select Type as 'TIMESTAMP'

• DON'T ENTER ANYTHING IN LENGTH/VALUES FIELD. KEEP IT BLANK

• Select CURRENT_TIMESTAMP as Default value.

I am using MySQL ver 5.5.56
