这在迁移中增加了一点开销，因为您显然不能创建一个非空约束且没有默认值的字段。

// this up() migration is autogenerated, please modify it to your needs
$this->abortIf($this->connection->getDatabasePlatform()->getName() != "postgresql");

//lets add property without not null contraint        
$this->addSql("ALTER TABLE tablename ADD property BOOLEAN");

//get the default value for property       
$object = new Object();
$defaultValue = $menuItem->getProperty() ? "true":"false";

$this->addSql("UPDATE tablename SET property = {$defaultValue}");

//not you can add constraint
$this->addSql("ALTER TABLE tablename ALTER property SET NOT NULL");

有了这个答案，我鼓励您思考一下，为什么首先需要数据库中的默认值?通常它允许创建非空约束的对象。

工作对我的mysql数据库也:

Entity\Entity_name:
    type: entity
    table: table_name
    fields: 
        field_name:
            type: integer
            nullable: true
            options:
                default: 1

使用:

options={"default":"foo bar"}

而不是:

options={"default"="foo bar"}

例如:

/**
* @ORM\Column(name="foo", type="smallint", options={"default":0})
*/
private $foo

如果对实体使用yaml定义， 以下工作为我在postgresql数据库:

Entity\Entity_name:
    type: entity
    table: table_name
    fields: 
        field_name:
            type: boolean
            nullable: false
            options:
                default: false

这些对我都没用。我在doctrine的网站上找到了一些文档，上面说直接设置值来设置默认值。

https://www.doctrine-project.org/projects/doctrine-orm/en/2.6/reference/faq.html#how-can-i-add-default-values-to-a-column

private $default = 0;

这将插入我想要的值。

我也遇到过同样的问题。我希望将数据库中的默认值(自动地)放入实体中。你猜怎么着，我做到了。
