You need a function, not a literal constant. The SQL-spec way is
CURRENT_TIMESTAMP
(which is a function, despite the spec's weird idea that it should be
spelled without parentheses); the traditional Postgres way is
now()
Either way only sets an insertion default, though. If you want to
enforce a correct value on insertion, or change the value when the
row is UPDATEd, you need to use a trigger.
