Laravel - artisan - cannot insert with null column - php

Question

I have this table structure which I created partly with laravel builder:
public function up() {
DB::statement('
CREATE TABLE `tbl_permission` (
`permission_id` int NOT NULL AUTO_INCREMENT PRIMARY KEY,
`id_module` smallint(5) unsigned NOT NULL,
`name` varchar(50) NOT NULL,
`create` TINYINT NOT NULL DEFAULT 0,
`view` TINYINT NOT NULL DEFAULT 0,
`is_composition` tinyint(1) NOT NULL DEFAULT "0",
`suffix_czech_name` VARCHAR(100),
`permission_table` VARCHAR(50),
FOREIGN KEY (`id_module`) REFERENCES `tbl_modules` (`id_module`)
) COLLATE utf8_czech_ci;
');
}
then I have another migration with insert:
public function up() {
DB::table('tbl_permission')->insert([
['name' => 'account_bad_rooms', 'id_module' => 1, 'create' => 0, 'view' => 1, 'is_composition' => 0, 'suffix_czech_name' => 'name'],
['name' => 'account', 'id_module' => 1, 'create' => 1, 'view' => 1, 'is_composition' => 0, 'suffix_czech_name' => 'name'],
['name' => 'accountRoomIdConfig', 'id_module' => 1, 'create' => 1, 'view' => 1, 'is_composition' => 0, 'suffix_czech_name' => 'name', 'permission_table' => 'accountRoomIdConfig']
]);
}
When I use migration then everything works without any error except I don't have any inserted data. I figured out that is because in two inserts I don't have column permission_table which can be null. When I add this column, then all inserts have same structure, migration is fine. Problem is that I have more than 70 inserts and some have column permission_table and some does not have it. Is somehow possible to insert all data without same structure?

If you do an insert without setting permission_table value you will get a sql error value list does not match column list.
Even if default value is null. you still have to pass the column in all rows with a value of '' even if it does not have a value.
public function up() {
DB::table('tbl_permission')->insert([
[
'name' => 'account_bad_rooms',
'id_module' => 1,
'create' => 0,
'view' => 1,
'is_composition' => 0,
'suffix_czech_name' => 'name'
'permission_table' => ''
],
[
.... next record
]
]);
}
Hope this help.
