24565	server_default option on model fields	Pacodastre	nobody	"I'll just be talking about PostgreSQL, since it's the only one i've been using, but it might also be possible with other Database Engines.

When you set a default on a field such as:

{{{
my_field = models.BooleanField(default=True)
}}}

This default is not applied to the PostgreSQL table:

{{{
           Table ""public.app_mytable""
     Column      |           Type           | Modifiers 
-----------------+--------------------------+-----------
 my_field        | boolean                  | not null
}}}

SQLAlchemy provides a [http://docs.sqlalchemy.org/en/latest/core/defaults.html#server-side-defaults server_default] option.

It would be nice to have such an option in Django too."	New feature	closed	Database layer (models, ORM)	1.8	Normal	duplicate		ribemont.francois@…	Unreviewed	0	0	0	0	0	0
