Doctrine 2.1 - datetime column default value

Question

Could someone tell me how to add default value on datetime column? I can\'t do this like this:

protected $registration_date = date(\"Y-m-d H:i:s\", time());
         


        

Answer 1

For default value CURRENT_TIMESTAMP:

     @ORM\Column(name="created_at", type="datetime", options={"default": "CURRENT_TIMESTAMP"})

Or for older Symfony versions:

     @ORM\Column(name="created_at", type="datetime", options={"default": 0})

Worked for me... However this works only with MySQL.
