Been trying to perform an insert into command for a table called customers. However whenever I try to do a query I get the following error.
Error Code: 1364. Field 'customer_address' doesn't have a default value 0.000 sec
I'm not entirely sure how I would go about setting a default value. Any suggestions?
lock table customers write;
set foreign_key_checks = 0;
alter table customers modify customer_id integer auto_increment;
insert into customers (customer_first_name, customer_last_name)
values ("Nathan", "Rivera"),
("thom", "something");

Error Code: 1364. Field 'customer_address' doesn't have a default value 0.000 sec
That means that the customer_address column is set to NOT allow NULL values and that no default value has been specified. Therefore your insert statement must include the customer address field.
insert into customers (customer_first_name, customer_last_name, customer_address)
values ("Nathan", "Rivera", "1000 Fred St."),
("thom", "something", "9659 Foobar Dr.");
Now that you've added your table defs it's clear that you'll need the other fields that you've marked NOT NULL as well in the insert statement, or you'll see a similar error for each one you leave out.
You can specify a default value using the DEFAULT option in the CREATE TABLE query.

I want to create a database with information of employees, their jobs, salaries and projects
I want to keep information of the cost of a project (real value of project and the days a employee invested)
For employee and project each Employee has one role on the Project through the PK constraint, and allows for the addition of a new role type ("Tertiary" perhaps) in the future.

So to get the total amount of the cost of a project and have it for future Work quote I would just sum the working days of each job for each employee in an aggregate query.
What would be the query to sum all working days knowing the employees involved in a particular project to know the cost generated for their work, Is it possible to know this with this design?
So lets suppose I know that in project 1, 5 employees were involved, and I know by other table "jobs" the salary I would pay each one of them per day

To the new structure I did this
CREATE VIEW `Emp-Job` as
SELECT e.*,j.jobID
FROM Employee e,`Jobs-Employee` j
WHERE e.EmployeeID = j.EmployeeID;
CREATE VIEW `employee_pay` as
select e.*, j.jobname, j.jobsalary, j.jobsalaryperday
from `Emp-Job` e
inner join `Jobs` j
on e.JobID = j.JobID;
create view project_pay as
select pe.projectid, pe.employeeid, pe.dayswork,
e.jobsalaryperday, (e.jobsalaryperday * dayswork) as total_salary
from `Project-Employee` pe
inner join `employee_pay` e
on e.employeeid = pe.employeeid
The data at the end of your question doesn't seem to match the data in your INSERT statements.
Have you ever heard of "divide and conquer"? This is a good time to use it. Here's what I'd do.
create view employee_pay as
select e.*, j.jobname, j.jobsalary, j.jobsalaryperday
from employee e
inner join jobs j on e.jobid = j.jobid
create view project_pay as
select pe.projectid, pe.employeeid, pe.dayswork,
e.jobsalaryperday, (e.jobsalaryperday * dayswork) as total_salary
from project_employee pe
inner join employee_pay e
on e.employeeid = pe.employeeid
I'd do that, because I expect those views to be generally useful. (Especially for debugging.) Having created those views, the total for a project is dead simple.
select projectid, sum(total_salary) as total_salaries
from project_pay
group by projectid
projectid total_salaries

You really don't want to use DOUBLE for money. Use DECIMAL instead.
Use this query to sort out why my sum doesn't match yours.

inner join employee e on e.employeeid = p.employeeid;

Anti-patterns
Broken identity
Whenever you see a table like this one
CREATE TABLE Departments (
DeptID INTEGER NOT NULL PRIMARY KEY,
DeptName VARCHAR(30) NOT NULL
);
you should assume its structure is wrong, and dig deeper. (It's presumed guilty until proven innocent.) The anti-pattern you look for
integer as an artificial primary key, along with
no other unique constraints.
A table like this allows the real data to be duplicated, eliminating the usefulness of an artificial key.
DeptID DeptName
--
1 Wibble
2 Wibble
...
175 Wibble
A table like this will allow multiple foreign key references, too. That means some of the foreign keys might reference Wibble (DeptID = 1), some might reference Wibble (DeptID = 175), and so on.
To fix that, add a UNIQUE constraint on DeptName.
Missing foreign key references
Whenever you see a table like this one
CREATE TABLE Employee(
EmployeeID INTEGER NOT NULL PRIMARY KEY,
Name VARCHAR(30) NOT NULL,
...
DeptID INTEGER NOT NULL,
JobID INTEGER NOT NULL
);
you should assume its structure is wrong, and dig deeper. (Again, it's presumed guilty until proven innocent.) The anti-pattern you look for
ID numbers from other tables, along with
no foreign key constraints referencing those tables.
To fix that, add foreign key constraints for DeptID and JobID. On MySQL, make sure you're using the INNODB engine, too. (As of MySQL 5.6, MyISAM still won't enforce foreign key constraints, but it won't give you an error or warning if you write them. They're parsed and ignored.)
If you come to MySQL from another dbms, you'll be surprised to find that MySQL doesn't support inline foreign key reference syntax. That means you can't write this.
DeptID integer not null references Departments (DeptID)
Instead, you have to write a separate foreign key clause in the CREATE TABLE statement. (Or use a separate ALTER TABLE statement to declare the FK reference.)
DeptID integer not null,
foreign key (DeptID) references Departments (DeptID)
Search this page for "inline ref", but read the whole thing.
Missing CHECK() constraints
MySQL doesn't enforce CHECK() constraints, so for columns that beg for a CHECK() constraint, you need a table and a foreign key reference. When you see a structure like this
CREATE TABLE Employee(
EmployeeID INTEGER NOT NULL PRIMARY KEY,
Name VARCHAR(30) NOT NULL,
Sex CHAR(1) NOT NULL,
the column "Sex" begs for a CHECK() constraint.
CREATE TABLE Employee(
EmployeeID INTEGER NOT NULL PRIMARY KEY,
Name VARCHAR(30) NOT NULL,
Sex CHAR(1) NOT NULL CHECK( Sex IN ('M', 'F')),
But MySQL doesn't enforce CHECK() constraints, so you need another table and a foreign key reference.
create table sexes (
sex char(1) primary key
);
insert into sexes values ('M');
insert into sexes values ('F');
CREATE TABLE Employee(
EmployeeID INTEGER NOT NULL PRIMARY KEY,
Name VARCHAR(30) NOT NULL,
Sex CHAR(1) NOT NULL,
...
foreign key (Sex) references Sexes (Sex)
I'd consider CHECK() constraints for most of these columns. Some can be implemented as tables with foreign key references.

Using floating-point data types for money
Don't do that. Floating-point numbers are useful approximations, but they're still approximations. Use DECIMAL instead.
