在属性定义上设置默认值时要小心!在构造函数中执行，以避免出现问题。如果您在属性定义上定义它，然后将对象持久化到数据库，然后进行部分加载，那么未加载的属性将再次具有默认值。如果您想再次持久化对象，这是危险的。

<?php
/**
 * @Entity
 */
class myEntity {
    /**
     * @var string
     *
     * @ORM\Column(name="myColumn", type="integer", options={"default" : 0})
     */
    private $myColumn;
    ...
}

注意，这里使用的是SQL DEFAULT，而某些字段(如BLOB和TEXT)不支持SQL DEFAULT。

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

下面是我自己解决问题的方法。下面是MySQL默认值的实体示例。但是，这也需要在您的实体中设置一个构造函数，并在那里设置默认值。

Entity\Example:
  type: entity
  table: example
  fields:
    id:
      type: integer
      id: true
      generator:
        strategy: AUTO
    label:
      type: string
      columnDefinition: varchar(255) NOT NULL DEFAULT 'default_value' COMMENT 'This is column comment'

你也可以使用xml:

<field name="acmeOne" type="string" column="acmeOne" length="36">
    <options>
        <option name="comment">Your SQL field comment goes here.</option>
        <option name="default">Default Value</option>
    </options>
</field>

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。
