INSERT INTO table (fld_y,fld_z) VALUES ('y','z')

which is really doing:

INSERT INTO table (fld_x, fld_y,fld_z) VALUES (DEFAULT, 'y','z')


To be honest I hadn't seen the use of INSERT INTO table (fld_x, fld_y,fld_z) VALUES (DEFAULT, 'y','z') before, I have always gone with INSERT INTO table (fld_x, fld_y,fld_z) VALUES (NULL, 'y','z')

is DEFAULT a better option than using NULL? or is it just a preference to spell out the implied default entry?

I've only used DEFAULT in CREATE TABLE(...)
