I've read the docs on this and thought I understood, but I can't get it
to work. I define a table like so:
actions = Table('actions', metadata,
Column('id', INTEGER, primary_key=True),
Column('name', VARCHAR(100), nullable=False),
Column('suser_name', VARCHAR(100), nullable=False),
Column('action_time', DATETIME, nullable=False,
default=func.CURRENT_TIMESTAMP),
Column('notes', TEXT),
Column('project_id', INTEGER,
ForeignKey("%s.projects.id" % schemaname), nullable=False),
Column('input_time', DATETIME, nullable=False,
default=func.CURRENT_TIMESTAMP),
schema=schemaname
)
Note the action_time column with a default value of
func.CURRENT_TIMESTAMP. Here is the output from
planreview.metadata.create_all():
CREATE TABLE planreview.actions(
id SERIAL NOT NULL PRIMARY KEY,
name VARCHAR(100) NOT NULL,
suser_name VARCHAR(100) NOT NULL,
action_time TIMESTAMP NOT NULL,
notes TEXT,
project_id INTEGER NOT NULL REFERENCES planreview.projects(id),
input_time TIMESTAMP NOT NULL
)
Now, I attempt an insert.
dws_dev=# insert into planreview.actions (name, suser_name, notes,
project_id) values ('test', 'test', 'test', 1);
And get an error.
ERROR: null value in column "action_time" violates not-null constraint
Why isn't the default value defined? I'm using SA SVN 1593 and PG 7.4.
Here is the table definition.
dws_dev=# \d planreview.actions
Table "planreview.actions"
Column | Type |
Modifiers
-------------+-----------------------------+-------------------------------------------------------------
id | integer | not null default
nextval('planreview.actions_id_seq'::text)
name | character varying(100) | not null
suser_name | character varying(100) | not null
action_time | timestamp without time zone | not null
notes | text |
project_id | integer | not null
input_time | timestamp without time zone | not null
Indexes:
"actions_pkey" primary key, btree (id)
Foreign-key constraints:
"$1" FOREIGN KEY (project_id) REFERENCES planreview.projects(id)
Note that I also tried a default values of func.now and func.now()
