RE: last column in a table is added with a DEFAULT
It is impossible to add a NOT NULL column that *doesn't* have a DEFAULT to a table (unless the table is empty). The error you get is ORA-01758: table must be empty to add mandatory (NOT NULL) column. But that's a logical problem, not a bug. Is there any chance the dev is confusing this problem with something else?

RE: last column in a table is added with a DEFAULT
Title: RE: last column in a table is added with a DEFAULT David, The best way to see if this works is to create a test table. populate it with some data. Add a column with a default value. and observer what happens. best way to learn.

RE: last column in a table is added with a DEFAULT
I know, with earlier version of Oracle, columns likely to have null values were placed at the end of the table, to save on some minuscle bytes of space. If the null columns fall between columns with data values, then one byte is used for their storage. Else, they require no storage. But no, there is no bug related to the last column having a default value.
