Oracle column default value

I 'm using Oracle 8i and i have a table table1 with two columns:

COL1 not null
COL2 DEFAULT 'N' if i make an insert :
insert into table1(COL1,COL2) values (1,null)

The column COL2 is null and I would like to have N (the default value)

when i make an insert like this:
insert into table1(COL1) values (1)
it's work well. The value of the COL2 is 'N'.

i don't want to use the trigger to do this.

Thanks for your help. Received on Wed Jul 14 2004 - 15:42:31 CEST
