mysql error 1364 Field doesn't have a default values

mysql error 1364 Field doesn't have a default values
The MySQL error "1364 Field doesn't have a default value" occurs when you try to insert or update a row in a table, and the specified field does not have a default value, and you haven't provided a value for that field in the query. This error is a result of the SQL mode "STRICT_TRANS_TABLES" being enabled, which enforces strict data validation and doesn't allow inserting rows without providing values for all non-nullable columns.

Here are some ways to resolve the error:

1. Provide a Default Value:
If possible, alter the table to set a default value for the column. This way, when a new row is inserted, and no value is provided for that column, MySQL will use the default value.

2. Set the Field to Allow NULL:
If the column allows NULL values, you can modify the table to allow NULL values. This will prevent the strict mode from throwing an error when you don't provide a value for that column during insertion.

3. Include the Column in the Query:
Make sure to include the column and provide a value for it when inserting or updating a row. If the column doesn't have a default value and doesn't allow NULL, you must explicitly specify a value for that column in your query.

4. Disable Strict Mode:

Example of disabling strict mode in the configuration file:

bash

# Comment out the line below to disable strict mode
#sql_mode=ONLY_FULL_GROUP_BY,NO_ZERO_IN_DATE,NO_ZERO_DATE,ERROR_FOR_DIVISION_BY_ZERO,NO_AUTO_CREATE_USER,NO_ENGINE_SUBSTITUTION

Remember that disabling strict mode should only be considered as a temporary solution, and it's better to address the issue by providing default values or allowing NULLs if possible.

Before making any changes to your database schema or configuration, it's essential to take proper backups and understand the implications of the modifications you are making. If you're unsure about the best approach for your specific situation, it's recommended to seek the assistance of a database administrator or a MySQL expert.
