How to insert default values in SQL table?

Question

I have a table like this:

create table1 (field1 int,
               field2 int default 5557,
               field3 int default 1337, 
               field4 i         


        

Answer 1

The best way is:

insert your_table
default values

Answer 2

Just don't include the columns that you want to use the default value for in your insert statement. For instance:

INSERT INTO table1 (field1, field3) VALUES (5, 10);

...will take the default values for field2 and field4, and assign 5 to field1 and 10 to field3.
