La única "solución alternativa" que conozco para esto es usar Unirse() y Predeterminado(nombre de campo)
Por ejemplo
$pdo = new PDO("mysql:host=localhost;dbname=test", 'localonly', 'localonly');
$pdo->setAttribute(PDO::ATTR_ERRMODE, PDO::ERRMODE_EXCEPTION);
$pdo->exec("
CREATE TEMPORARY TABLE foo (
id int auto_increment,
x int NOT NULL DEFAULT 99,
y DATETIME NOT NULL DEFAULT '2010-03-17 01:00:00',
z varchar(64) NOT NULL DEFAULT 'abc',
primary key(id)
)
");
$stmt = $pdo->prepare('
INSERT INTO
foo
(x,y,z)
VALUES
(
Coalesce(:x, Default(x)),
Coalesce(:y, Default(y)),
Coalesce(:z, Default(z))
)
');
$stmt->bindParam(':x', $x);
$stmt->bindParam(':y', $y);
$stmt->bindParam(':z', $z);
$testdata = array(
array(null, null, null),
array(1, null, 'lalala'),
array(null, '2009-12-24 18:00:00', null)
);
foreach($testdata as $row) {
list($x,$y,$z) = $row;
$stmt->execute();
}
unset($stmt);
foreach( $pdo->query('SELECT id,x,y,z FROM foo', PDO::FETCH_NUM) as $row) {
echo join(', ', $row), "\n";
}
