Integrity constraint violation: 1048 Column cannot be null error

Question

I'm getting a weird error in symfony 1.4 with doctrine 1.2. My schemas seem to be normal. But whenever I execute the doctrine:build --all --no-confirmation --and-load task, it would output the error SQLSTATE[23000]: Integrity constraint violation: 1048 Column 'default_edition_id' cannot be null. If I set notnull to false for the default_edition_id field, it would actually just be null. Can anyone help me out on what I may be missing?

Here is my schema file (chapter.yml):

Chapter:
  actAs:
    Timestampable: ~
    Versionable:
      versionColumn: version
      className: %CLASS%Version
    SoftDelete: ~
  columns:

    chapter_number: { type: integer, notnull: true }
    series_id: { type: integer, notnull: true }
    default_edition_id: { type: integer, notnull: true }

      values: [1, 0]
      default: 0
      notnull: true

and my edition schema (edition.yml):

Answer 1

"If I set notnull to false for the default_edition_id field, it would actually just be null". In this sentence, was does "it" refer to? Notnull means that the value 'null' is acceptable for this field, not that its value will always be null, if this was what you meant.
