Altered the table via
alter table radio modify dfm float(38) default 99.0;

now when i try to enter a record thru my software and leave the entry blank for dfm, it should save the record with a dfm value of 99.0 instead of 0 but it doesnt do that. It saves the record with a value of 0. why??

Once you specified default value for that column then no need to specify anything for that. But if you include column for which you specified default value then you have to specify some value for that column (in case you are using forms) becuse form builts SQL statment based on property of fields.

In shot if you want to store default value specified in column don;t use that column in SQL statement but default value can not be used for the purpose you mentioned. To store 99.0 instead of 0. For this you might have to use DECODE.

Bye...
