More info on this issue: 1. SQL queries where executed using JDBC. 2. I was trying to repeat the bug (executing 'direct queries', from psql)- I created a new table, added some rows, then alter table adding varchar column field (password_pdf) with DEFAULT NULL, added some rows problem does not occur neither in 8.3.11 nor 8.1.19 - so it is not easy to repeat it 3. Another fact: after removing explicit DEFAULT NULL on column, everything works fine 4. Problem occurs on production database instance so that I cannot test it there. I will try to copy database on another postgre 8.3.11 instance and repeat the bug to provide more details on this but this might take a while
> Maybe you did an ALTER SET DEFAULT in a strange way? Hmm, rather not possible, SQL queries adding column (with DEFAULT NULL) were executed from the application and the same (for sure) queries were executed on development (8.1.19), test (8.1.19) and production (8.3.11) database.
