Is there a way to have a field in a MySQL table automatically be filled whenever that row is created or updated with the value of another field in the same table? Is there a way to have it filled with a calculation based on another field?
No. The MySQL manual says default values must be constants: http://www.mysql.com/doc/C/R/CREATE_TABLE.html
