http://www.mysql.com/doc/en/CREATE_TABLE.html states "Default values =
must be
constants. This means, for example, that you cannot set the default for =
a
date column to be the value of a function such as NOW() or =
CURRENT_DATE."

Is this ever going to be "fixed"? I often find myself using this when
creating new records, and it'd be just one less thing to worry about =
putting
in the INSERT statement?
