'default' is not working in @Column in Spring Boot-CodePudding

Below is my entity class, I have added default contraint on my EnumType variable of class. But while the value in the db, it not taking that value and giving ContraintViolation. Entity

@Entity
@Getter
@Setter
@NoArgsConstructor
@AllArgsConstructor
@Table(name = "employee")
public class Employee{   
  @Id
  private String id;
  
  @Column(name = "name", nullable = false)
  private String name;
  
  @Column(name = "email", nullable = false)
  private String email;
  
  @Column(name = "language", nullable = false, columnDefinition = "VARCHAR(10) default 'ENGLISH'")
  @Enumerated(EnumType.STRING)
  private Language language;
  
}

Here, if I remove nullable from Language Enum, the language is saved as null. Why is it not taking default value as ENGLISH

CodePudding user response：

Since Language is of type ENUM, you can use:

@Column(name = "language", nullable = false, columnDefinition = "enum('ENGLISH' , 'CHINESE') default 'ENGLISH'")

CodePudding user response：

How about initializing your enum property with default value like below?

@Column(name = "language", nullable = false, columnDefinition = "VARCHAR(10) default 'ENGLISH'")
  @Enumerated(EnumType.STRING)
  private Language language = Language.ENGLISH;
