Ie, a flag that could apply to any Col type, not just DateTimeCol? Right now, my understanding is that we can have fields that aren't required for creating SO objects, but SO requires a default value/function to use in that case and includes it in the INSERT statement. Not sure what word to use for the flag, "auto" by itself is the right concept but pretty generic. "autoInsert"? "databaseDefault"? "defaultFromDatabase"? - Luke |
