php - Default value in Doctrine

Question

How do I set a default value in Doctrine 2?

Answer 1

<?php
/**
 * @Entity
 */
class myEntity {
    /**
     * @var string
     *
     * @ORMColumn(name="myColumn", type="integer", options={"default" : 0})
     */
    private $myColumn;
    ...
}

Note that this uses SQL DEFAULT, which is not supported for some fields like BLOB and TEXT.
