i think it should be the latter. if its specified in ther perl
metadata, that should take precedence as it might be an override.
example:
create table insert_logger ( transaction_id serial primary key,
logged_by interger references loggers(id) not null default 10 );
loggers:
id - name
10 - 'not specified'
11 - 'perl, rosedb'
12 - 'perl, raw''
13 - 'php'
14 - 'python'
then , depending on the app, you'd want a default value as specified.
perhaps thats more of a config implementation than a metadata
