BUG#14770 - LOAD DATA INFILE doesn't respect default values for
columns Fixed confusing warning. Quoting INSERT section of the manual: ---- Inserting NULL into a column that has been declared NOT NULL. For multiple-row INSERT statements or INSERT INTO ... SELECT statements, the column is set to the implicit default value for the column data type. This is 0 for numeric types, the empty string ('') for string types, and the "zero" value for date and time types. INSERT INTO ... SELECT statements are handled the same way as multiple-row inserts because the server does not examine the result set from the SELECT to see whether it returns a single row. (For a single-row INSERT, no warning occurs when NULL is inserted into a NOT NULL column. Instead, the statement fails with an error.) ---- This is also true for LOAD DATA INFILE. For INSERT user can specify DEFAULT keyword as a value to set column default. There is no similiar feature available for LOAD DATA INFILE.
