Why the default route is not in OSPF database while RIP-OSPF mutual redistributing?

[Chris]

If I have a router running RIP and OSPF and mutual redistribution between both of them ( no route-maps attached to the redistribution.Just normal redistribution)
show ip route will show me a default rip route

but when I check the ospf database the default route is not there

any ideas ?

Default-route is not redistributed by OSPF with normal redistribution.

You will have to use default information-originate command.
