[SOLVED] default(current_date) throws an error

[next]

i'm trying to create a table, but get an error at this line for some reason:

date_registered DATE DEFAULT(CURRENT_DATE)

says i have a syntax error.

Any ideas how to fix this?

I am guessing that if you would actually post the error or read what it says that it mentions something about not being able to use a function as a default value...

 

The DEFAULT value clause in a data type specification indicates a default value for a column. With one exception, the default value must be a constant; it cannot be a function or an expression. This means, for example, that you cannot set the default for a date column to be the value of a function such as NOW() or CURRENT_DATE. The exception is that you can specify CURRENT_TIMESTAMP as the default for a TIMESTAMP column. See Section 10.3.1.1, “TIMESTAMP Properties”.

it just said that i have a syntax error at line 6, nothing specific.

Thanks for your help, i'll use TIMESTAMP instead.
