How to set default current date in jpa for mysql-CodePudding

I am trying to generate current date automatically but getting this error

You have an error in your SQL syntax; check the manual that corresponds to your MySQL server 
version for the right syntax to use near 'CURRENT_DATE' at line 1

@Column(name = "ddate", columnDefinition = "DATE DEFAULT CURRENT_DATE")
private Date ddate;

CodePudding user response：

I would recommend trying the CreationTimestamp annotation paired with nullable = false, updatable = false

@Column(name = "ddate", nullable = false, updatable = false)
@CreationTimestamp
private Date ddate;

The above strategy uses the current VM date, so use this if you are ok with that.
