Re: [HACKERS] create table and default 'now' problem ?

You can use DEFAULT CURRENT_TIMESTAMP as in:

prova=> create table test ( a datetime default current_timestamp, b int4);

prova=> insert into test (b) values (1);
INSERT 941004 1

prova=> insert into test (b) values (1);
INSERT 941005 1
prova=> select * from test1;
a |b
