    id             | INT      | 20     | No default          |

    updatedate     | TIMESTAMP|        | 0000-00-00 00:00:00 |

and this what I got when I'm trying knex migrate:latest

migration file "20191125105226_alter_tbl_skills.js" failed
migration failed with error: alter table `tbl_skills` change `preminum_price` `premium_price` double(5,2) NOT NULL - ER_INVALID_DEFAULT: Invalid default value for 'insertdate'
Error: ER_INVALID_DEFAULT: Invalid default value for 'insertdate'

I dont know to how set value for insertdate with default value. Please help

That is most probably because of server SQL Mode - NO_ZERO_DATE .

In strict mode, don't allow '0000-00-00' as a valid date. You can still insert zero dates with the IGNORE option. When not in strict mode, the date is accepted but a warning is generated. If you have access to my.ini (mysql conf file) remove the NO_ZERO_DATA from sql-mode and restart the server.

You can check it with SHOW VARIABLES LIKE 'sql_mode'
