MySQL timestamp NOT NULL插入NULL的问题

explicit_defaults_for_timestamp

MySQL 5.6版本引入

explicit_defaults_for_timestamp

来控制对timestamp NULL值的处理

如果该参数不开启，则对timestamp NOT NULL插入NULL值，不报错，无warning，插入后的值为当前时间

如果在my.cnf中explicit_defaults_for_timestamp=1

那么插入该值的时候会报错提示该列can not be null

建议开启该值

mysql> show variables like '%explicit_defaults_for_timestamp%';
+---------------------------------+-------+
| Variable_name | Value |
+---------------------------------+-------+
| explicit_defaults_for_timestamp | OFF |
+---------------------------------+-------+
1 row in set (0.00 sec)

mysql> show create table helei\G
*************************** 1. row ***************************
Table: helei
Create Table: CREATE TABLE `helei` (
`a` timestamp NOT NULL DEFAULT CURRENT_TIMESTAMP
) ENGINE=InnoDB DEFAULT CHARSET=utf8
1 row in set (0.08 sec)

mysql> select * from helei;
Empty set (0.03 sec)

mysql> insert into helei values(NULL);
Query OK, 1 row affected (0.39 sec)

mysql> select * from helei;
+---------------------+
| a |
+---------------------+
| 2016-05-26 11:44:24 |
+---------------------+
1 row in set (0.03 sec)

可以看到

explicit_defaults_for_timestamp

插入的NULL值变为当前时间，并没有被NOT NULL所限制

且该值是无法动态修改的，必须重启库才可以变更

mysql> set global explicit_defaults_for_timestamp=0;

ERROR 1238 (HY000): Variable 'explicit_defaults_for_timestamp' is a read only variable

我们在my.cnf修改该参数后并重启库后，可以看到null值已经不被允许插入了

mysql> select * from helei;
+---------------------+
| a |
+---------------------+
| 2016-05-26 11:44:24 |
| 2016-05-26 11:45:46 |
+---------------------+
2 rows in set (0.00 sec)

mysql> insert into helei values(null);
ERROR 1048 (23000): Column 'a' cannot be null

mysql> insert into helei values(NULL);
ERROR 1048 (23000): Column 'a' cannot be null

explicit_defaults_for_timestamp = 0

1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8

CREATETABLE `helei` ( `id` int (10) UNSIGNED NOT NULL AUTO_INCREMENT , `t1` timestamp NULL DEFAULT NULL COMMENT 'null' , `t2` timestamp NOT NULL COMMENT 'not null' , `t3` timestamp NOT NULL ON UPDATECURRENT_TIMESTAMP COMMENT 'not null update' , PRIMARYKEY (`id`) ) ;

insert into helei(t1,t2,t3) values(null,null,null);

mysql> select * from helei;
+------+------+---------------------+---------------------+
| id | t1 | t2 | t3 |
+------+------+---------------------+---------------------+
| 2 | NULL | 2016-06-27 09:33:00 | 2016-06-27 09:33:00 |

t2虽然没有ON UPDATECURRENT_TIMESTAMP ，但由于explicit_defaults_for_timestamp没有开启，插入NULL不报错，且也插入了当前的时间

explicit_defaults_for_timestamp = 1

insert into helei(t1,t2,t3) values(null,null,null);

[SQL]insert into helei(t1,t2,t3) values(null,null,null)

[Err] 1048 - Column 't2' cannot be null

这才是我想要的
