Folks,
What happens now:
CREATE TABLE bar(id int DEFAULT 'a');
ERROR: invalid input syntax for integer: "a"
Good so far. Now with a different data type.
CREATE TABLE bar(t TIMESTAMP WITHOUT TIME ZONE DEFAULT CURRENT_TIMESTAMP);
CREATE TABLE
This is a foot gun we need not have. TIMESTAMP WITHOUT TIME ZONE is
already a foot gun for the vast majority of real world cases. We
should not be making it worse by papering this over.
Ideally, this would look more like:
CREATE TABLE bar(t TIMESTAMP WITHOUT TIME ZONE DEFAULT CURRENT_TIMESTAMP);
ERROR: invalid input syntax for timestamp without time zone:
current_timestamp
HINT: perhaps you meant to use timestamp with time zone.
Best,
David.
