Hi

I´m making tests on datetime fields and try to use DEFAULT TEXT 'now' but
it end up always with the same time.

Is it OK? I do not think so! Perhaps I made some mistakes or do not
understood the manuals.

PostgreSQL 6.4.0 - Sparc Solaris 2.5 - front end psql

CREATE TABLE conex (
    id int4 PRIMARY KEY DEFAULT NEXTVAL('seq_conex'),

    hora time DEFAULT TEXT 'now',
    ms int4 ,
    dt datetime DEFAULT
TEXT 'now'
)\g
test-> test-> test-> test-> test-> NOTICE:  CREATE
TABLE/PRIMARY KEY will create implicit index conex_pkey for table
