It is nice being able to default to some logic inside the database because if there's access to it using some other tool or even directly through SQL commands then the default would still be applied / applicable. > One other possibility is to code the default inside a database trigger. But then you can't say that you have a NOT NULL column because if you omit the value then you'll get an SQL error... (While you can say, for example, "INSERT INTO table (column) VALUES (DEFAULT)" to get the default value.) --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "sqlalchemy" group.
