<?php ?> Doctrine supports default values for all data types. When default value is attached to a record column this means two of things. First this value is attached to every newly created Record. <br \><br \> <?php renderCode("<?php class User { public function setTableDefinition() { \$this->hasColumn('name', 'string', 50, 'default name'); } } \$user = new User(); print \$user->name; // default name ?>"); ?> <br \> Also when exporting record class to database DEFAULT <i>value</i> is attached to column definition statement. <br \>
