I have plenty of tables in MySQL which which contains zero date in dateTime column 0000-00-00 00:00:00
0000-00-00 00:00:00
Using some sort of admin settings, Is it possibl
Alter your Table as
ALTER TABLE `test_table` CHANGE COLUMN `created_dt` `created_dt` date NOT NULL DEFAULT '1900-01-01';
but before Altering table you need to update the existing value as juergen d said
update test_table set created_dt= '1900-01-01' where created_dt= '0000-00-00'
