+/**
+ * A class representing the default value of a column. It contains both the 
SQL string and literal
+ * value of the user-specified default value expression. The SQL string should 
be re-evaluated for
+ * each table writing command, which may produce different values if the 
default value expression is
+ * something like {@code CURRENT_DATE()}. The literal value is used to 
back-fill existing data if
+ * new columns with default value are added. Note: the back-fill can be lazy. 
The data sources can
+ * remember the column default value and let the reader fill the column value 
when reading existing
+ * data that do not have these new columns.
