Display only the default values set for columns in MySQL
Let us first create a table and set default values −
mysql> create table DemoTable803(UserId int DEFAULT 101,UserName varchar(100) DEFAULT 'Chris');
Query OK, 0 rows affected (1.18 sec)
Insert some records in the table using insert command. For the values we are not inserting, the default values will get set automatically −
mysql> insert into DemoTable803 values(102,'Chris');
Query OK, 1 row affected (0.34 sec)
mysql> insert into DemoTable803(UserName) values('Mike');
Query OK, 1 row affected (0.48 sec)
mysql> insert into DemoTable803(UserId) values(103);
Query OK, 1 row affected (0.21 sec)
mysql> insert into DemoTable803 values();
Query OK, 1 row affected (0.22 sec)
mysql> insert into DemoTable803 values(110,'Robert');
Query OK, 1 row affected (0.33 sec)Display all records from the table using select statement −
mysql> select *from DemoTable803;
This will produce the following output −
+--------+----------+
| UserId | UserName |
+--------+----------+
| 102 | Chris |
| 101 | Mike |
| 103 | Chris |
| 101 | Chris |
| 110 | Robert |
+--------+----------+
5 rows in set (0.00 sec)
Following is the query to display the default values only −
mysql> select default(UserId),default(UserName) from DemoTable803 limit 1;
This will produce the following output −
+-----------------+-------------------+
| default(UserId) | default(UserName) |
+-----------------+-------------------+
| 101 | Chris |
+-----------------+-------------------+
1 row in set (0.00 sec)
